The equilibrium constant, K

Grade 10 Science Worksheet - Building Confidence

NameDate

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.

  1. At equilibrium for A ⇌ B, [A] = 0.5 mol/L and [B] = 0.1 mol/L. What is K, Bo?

  2. At equilibrium for A ⇌ B, [A] = 0.3 mol/L and [B] = 1.2 mol/L. What is K, Esme?

  3. Read this first

    Concentration against time for A ⇌ B, leveling off (example data)

    time (s)[A] (mol/L)[B] (mol/L)
    010
    100.60.4
    200.40.6
    300.250.75
    400.250.75
  4. Using the graph, by when has the reaction reached equilibrium, Jun?

    • At 0 s
    • By 30 s
    • At 10 s
  5. Using the graph's equilibrium values, what is K for A ⇌ B, Kira?

    • 0.75
    • 3
    • 0.33
  6. Using the graph, is the equilibrium mixture mostly A or mostly B, Luz?

    • Mostly A, the reactant
    • Exactly half and half
    • Mostly B, the product
  7. How is K set up, Milo?

    • Products times reactants
    • Products over reactants
    • Reactants over products
  8. In a K expression, what do the equation's coefficients become, Pia?

    • Nothing: they're left out
    • Numbers added to the top
    • Powers on each concentration
  9. A reaction has K = 1 × 10¹⁰. What does its equilibrium mixture mostly hold, Ren?

    • Equal amounts
    • Products
    • Reactants
  10. A reaction has K = 1 × 10⁻⁵. What does its equilibrium mixture mostly hold, Tala?

    • Equal amounts
    • Products
    • Reactants
  11. A reaction has K close to 1. What does its equilibrium mixture hold, Zee?

    • Similar amounts of both
    • Almost no product
    • Almost no reactant

About this worksheet

The equilibrium constant, K. Every version has 10 questions, and the answer key prints on the second page.

What your child will learn

  • I can write K: products over reactants, with coefficients as powers, leaving out pure solids and liquids.
  • I can calculate K from given equilibrium concentrations.
  • I can read a large K as mostly products and a small K as mostly reactants.
  • I can compare Q with K and predict the effect of changing a concentration.

Standard: supports HS-PS1-6

Words to know

equilibrium constant, K: Products over reactants at equilibrium, with coefficients as powers

reaction quotient, Q: The same ratio for any mixture

homogeneous: All in one phase, such as all gases

heterogeneous: With more than one phase; pure solids and liquids are left out

extent: How far a reaction goes

Common mistakes

Your child put the reactant on top. K is products over reactants.

Your child left out the square. The 2 in front of NO₂ becomes a power: K = [NO₂]² ÷ [N₂O₄].

Your child multiplied by the coefficient 2. In K the coefficient is a power: [HI]², not 2 × [HI].

Questions parents ask

What is the most common mistake with the equilibrium constant, k?

Your child put the reactant on top. K is products over reactants.
