Formula and explanation

Formula: For a reversible reaction aA + bB ightleftharpoons cC + dD, the equilibrium constant is K c = ([C]^c [D]^d)/([A]^a [B]^b) Applicable Conditions: Reactions in dilute solutions, or gas - phase reactions expressed with concentrations. K c is constant at a given temperature. Explanation: The ratio of the product of the equilibrium concentrations of the products to that of the reactants, each raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. Indicates the extent of the reaction.
