- True/False. Explain your answer in one sentence or less. In an equilibrium process, the concentrations of products and of reactants are equal. The value of the equilibrium constant for a given reaction depends on the initial concentrations of reactants. Large value for equilibrium constant K means the reaction will be less complete at the equilibrium point. The concentration of a pure solid is left out of an equilibrium constant expression but a pure liquid is included.arrow_forward6. Hydrogen gas is finding more acceptance as an alternative fuel.
