Tiny samples of aqueous solutions are sketched below, as if under a microscope so powerful that individual molecules could be seen. (The water molecules are not shown.) The two substances in each sample can interconvert. That is, each kind of molecule can turn into the other. The equilibrium constant K for each interconversion equilibrium is shown below the sketch. Decide whether each solution is at equilibrium. K=4 K = At equilibrium? At equilibrium? O yes O no O yes O no K=9 K = At equilibrium? At equilibrium?

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.
