![### Equilibrium and Chemical Reactions
**Question:**
Given the following value, is the starting material or product favored at equilibrium? Select the single best answer.
\[ K_{\text{eq}} = 7.5 \]
- O product
- O starting material
**Explanation:**
In a chemical reaction, the equilibrium constant (\( K_{\text{eq}} \)) quantifies the ratio of the concentration of products to reactants at equilibrium. A \( K_{\text{eq}} \) greater than 1 indicates that the products are favored, while a \( K_{\text{eq}} \) less than 1 means the starting materials are favored.
In this case, \( K_{\text{eq}} = 7.5 \) suggests that the products are favored at equilibrium. Therefore, the correct answer is:
- O **product**](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/10109699-e850-457b-a56b-e064ba192cdf/e718f69d-a149-4bb6-9150-da858612277c/8u305kla_thumbnail.jpeg)
