If the equilibrium constant is much less than 1, how can you tell where the equilibrium lies?

A. Reactants are in the numerator of the equilibrium expression, so equilibrium lies toward the reactants.
B. Products are in the numerator of the equilibrium expression, so equilibrium lies toward the reactants.
C. Products are in the numerator of the equilibrium expression, so equilibrium lies toward the products.
D. Reactants are in the numerator of the equilibrium expression, so equilibrium lies toward the products.

dG = -RTlnK
If dG is - then K is + and a +K means products are greater than reactants. Products are in the numerator; reactants in the denominator.
The correct answer is B. :)
