Problem

At 350 K, a gas-phase reaction has a reported value of log⁡10K=−4.2\log_{10} K = -4.2. Which statement is most consistent with this information? a) At equilibrium, products greatly exceed reactants, so the reaction is product-favored. b) The sign of log⁡K\log K alone is insufficient to determine whether reactants or products are favored. c) At equilibrium, the concentration of reactants greatly exceeds that of products, so the reaction is reactant-favored. d) At equilibrium, comparable amounts of reactants and products are present, because KK is only a few orders of magnitude away from 1.
