alleryThe equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is the:
AIncrease of the first
BIntegral of the first
CInverse of the first
DInverse of the second
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Inverse of the first
1. Writing the same reaction backwards swaps numerator and denominator.
2. The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is the inverse of the original one.
3. So the correct answer is the inverse of the first.
