Equilibrium - Calculating K (Equilibrium Constant)
K = [products] ÷ [reactants]
This page is an exercise in calculating the equilibrium constant. When you press "New Problem" a balanced equation and a set of equilibrium concentrations will be displayed in the first box. Use the information provided to determine the value of K.
To begin, click "New Problem" and a question will appear in the box below the button.
IMPORTANT: Put the correct value into the answer cell and click "Check Answer."
The results on the problem and a running total will appear in the second table.
Pressing "Show Answer" will display the correct value and you will no longer be able to enter an answer for that question. At this time, you'll only get the value, not a detailed explanation.
