The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze both the assertion and the reason provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "the larger the value of the equilibrium constant (K), the greater is the extent to which reactants are converted into products." - This implies that a higher equilibrium constant indicates a greater tendency for the reaction to favor the formation of products. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "a larger value of K facilitates the forward reactions to proceed to a greater extent before equilibrium is attained." - This means that when K is large, the forward reaction occurs more readily compared to the reverse reaction, allowing more products to form before reaching equilibrium. 3. **Relating K to Reaction Rates**: - The equilibrium constant (K) is defined as the ratio of the concentrations of products to the concentrations of reactants at equilibrium. - Mathematically, for a reaction \( aA + bB \rightleftharpoons cC + dD \): \[ K = \frac{[C]^c [D]^d}{[A]^a [B]^b} \] - If K is large, it indicates that the concentration of products ([C] and [D]) is much greater than that of reactants ([A] and [B]) at equilibrium. 4. **Forward and Backward Reaction Rates**: - The rate of the forward reaction can be expressed as: \[ \text{Rate}_{\text{forward}} = k_f [A]^a [B]^b \] - The rate of the backward reaction can be expressed as: \[ \text{Rate}_{\text{backward}} = k_b [C]^c [D]^d \] - At equilibrium, these rates are equal: \[ k_f [A]^a [B]^b = k_b [C]^c [D]^d \] 5. **Conclusion**: - Since a larger K implies that \( k_f \) (the forward rate constant) is larger than \( k_b \) (the backward rate constant), it indicates that the forward reaction is favored, leading to more products being formed. - Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both the assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is the correct explanation for the assertion. ---
