What is a formation constant, {eq}K_f {/eq}?
Question:
What is a formation constant, {eq}K_f {/eq}?
Equilibrium Constant:
Chemical equilibrium is reached when the rate of the forward and backward reactions are finally equal. Every chemical reaction in equilibrium is governed by a constant which also shows whether a particular reaction is favorable or not. Since equilibrium constants are obtained as the ratio of the amount of the product to that of the reactant, constants greater than 1 signifies that the reaction is product favored.
