A large value of equilibrium constant shows that

A

the reaction is taking place at high temperature

B

the reaction is very little in the forward as well as backward direction

C

the reaction is less in the forward direction and more in the backward direction

D

the forward reaction occurs to a greater extent than the reverse reaction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The numberical value of the equilibrium constant for a reaction indicates the extent of the reaction. The magnitude of `K_(eq)` is directly proportional to the concentration of products but inversely proportional to the concentration of reactants.
