The coefficients in a reaction when writing the equilibrium constant expression becomes exponents in the equilibrium constant expression (Option A)

What is equilibrium constant?

The equilibrium constant for a given reaction is simply defined as the concentration of the products raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactants raised to their coefficient.

Consider the equation below:

aC + bD <=> eF

Where

  • C and D are reactants
  • F is the product
  • a, b and e are coefficients

Thus the equilibrium constant (K) is written as follow:

K = [F]^e / [C]^a[D]^b

From the above illustration, we can see that the coefficients are exponent in the equilibrium constant expression.

Thus, we can conclude that the correct answer to the question is Option A. They become exponents in the equilibrium constant expression
