Write the K expression. Now, to have K 7.0 (greater than 1.0), must products or reactants be greater or less?
The reaction is favoring the products. In other words when you have a reaction whose number is 0 you are at a perfect equilibrium, when you have some number smaller than that you have a greater number of reactants than products. When you are above that you a greater number of products than compared to reactants. How do I know this? Kc= products/reactants
