    What is the Equilibrium Constant?

    The equilibrium constant (K) quantifies the ratio of product to reactant concentrations at chemical equilibrium. A large K means products are favored; a small K means reactants dominate. K depends only on temperature, not on initial concentrations or pressure.

    📐 Formula

    Kc = [products]^n / [reactants]^m

    Concentrations in mol/L, raised to stoichiometric powers. Kp uses partial pressures. Relationship: Kp = Kc × (RT)^Δn.

    📝 Worked Example

    N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃
    Kc = [NH₃]² / ([N₂][H₂]³)
    At 500°C, Kc ≈ 6×10⁻². Products not favored at high T (Haber Process uses high P to compensate).

    📝 How to Use the Calculator

    ❓ FAQ

    What does Q vs K tell us?

    If Q < K: reaction proceeds forward. If Q > K: reaction proceeds backward. If Q = K: system is at equilibrium.

    What is Le Chatelier's Principle?

    If a system at equilibrium is disturbed (change in concentration, pressure, or temperature), it will shift to minimize the disturbance and re-establish equilibrium.
