do the initial concentrations afect the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products of a given reaction?

Sagot :

No, the initial concentrations affect the equilibrium concentrations of reactants and the products.

The equilibrium constant does not depend on the initial concentration of reactants but depends on concentration  of various species at equilibrium .

The equilibrium constant is the ratio between the product of the molar concentrations of the products to that of the product of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each concentration term raised to a power equal to stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.  

If you increase the concentration of a reactant or product participated in an equilibrium, the system will absorb some of the added material and after some time the system will re establish equilibrium. When you recalculate Keq, you get the same value.

It changes with the change in the temperature.
