Recall that when a reaction is at equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate. To illustrate this idea, consider the reaction of A (small, red spheres) and B (large, blue spheres) to form AB. A+B ⇌ AB

Notice that the reaction never stops. Even after several minutes, there is A and B left unreacted, and the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur. Also note that amounts of each species (i. e., their concentrations) stay the same.

What is the value of the equilibrium constant for this reaction?
Assume each atom or molecule represents a 1 M concentration of that substance.

Equilibrium constant Kc = [x]² / [A - x] [B - x]

Explanation:

The equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products to that of the reactants at equilibrium

ie Kc = [products] / [reactants].

The balanced equation of the reaction is given as : A + B ⇄ AB

At the beginning of the reaction,

Initial concentration I = A = 1M

                                       B = 1M

                                      AB = 0M

After a period of time and assuming 'x' to be the concentration of product AB formed, the concentrations become

                                         C = reactant A = [A - x] M

                                                 rectant B =   [B - x] M

                                              Product AB =  [x] [x] M

At equilibrium, the concentrations are,

                                            E  = rectant A = [A - x] M

                                                   reactant B = [B - x] M

                                                   product AB = [x]² M

therefore , the equilibrium constant, Kc  = [products]/[reactants]

                                                                   = [x]² / [A - x] [B - x]
