How do you determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) for a chemical reaction at a given temperature using the concentrations of the reactants and products?

Answer 1

Bobby Rivas

To determine the equilibrium constant (Kc) for a chemical reaction at a given temperature, use the concentrations of the reactants and products at equilibrium. The Kc is calculated using the expression: Kc = [products]^coefficients / [reactants]^coefficients, where the concentrations are raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
