How value of Kc can help to predict the extent to which a chemical reaction can take place?

1 Answer

Answer :

The extent of reaction depends upon the magnitude of Kc. i.e.
(i) Very small value of Kc:
 when Kc is very small the forward reaction will not occur to an appreciable extent and the reverse reaction will go almost to complete.
(ii) Kc is very large:
 When Kc is very large the reverse reaction will not occur to an appreciable extent and the forward reaction is almost complete.
(iii) Kc has an intermediate value:
 When the value of Kc is neither very large nor very small, the equilibrium mixture contains appreciable amounts of both reactant and products.
