A small value of equilibrium constant shows that:

Options

A. The reaction is more in the forward direction than in the backward direction
B. the reaction is less in the forward direction and more in the bacward direction
C. the reaction proceeds very little both in the forward and backward directions.
D. The reaction is taking place at high temperature.

Answer

B

Explanation

`K_(c) = ("Product of molar conc. of products")/("Product of molar conc. of reactants")`
If `K_(c)` is less this clearly means that the product of the molar conc. Of reactants is more or the reaction is less in forward direction and more in the backward direction.
