Which statement is true about a reaction with an equilibrium constant, K_eq, equal to 1000? A) The forward rate constant is 1000 times greater than the reverse rate constant. B) The forward rate constant is 3 times greater than reverse rate constant. C) The forward rate constant is 1000 times smaller than the reverse rate constant. D) The forward rate constant is 3 times smaller than the reverse rate constant. E) There is not enough information given to compare the forward and reverse rate constants.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant is the ratio of the forward rate constant to the reverse rate constant. If K_eq is 1000, then the forward rate constant is 1000 times greater than the reverse rate constant.
