Which effect occurs when a reversible chemical reaction’s equilibrium constant greatly exceeds one?

💡 Explanation

When the equilibrium constant K >> 1, the forward reaction is strongly favored because the standard free energy change is highly negative, resulting in almost complete conversion of reactants to products. Therefore near-complete conversion occurs, rather than a slow reverse reaction, catalyst poisoning, or minimal impact which require K ≈ 1.
