The equilibrium constant, K, for the reaction shown below has a value 1.8 × 10–5. Based on the value of the equilibrium constant, which statement is true? CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(ℓ) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + CH3COO–(aq) At equilibrium, the reactant concentrations will be higher than the product concentrations. At equilibrium, the product concentrations will be higher than the reactant concentrations. At equilibrium, the reactant and product concentrations will be equal. A general statement about the equilibrium cannot be determined based on the data given. The given value of K is incorrect because the equilibrium constant for all reactions at equilibrium must be 1.
