What does the subscript 'c' indicate in the equilibrium constant expression K c ?

Options

  1. AThe speed of the reaction
  2. BThe concentration of reactants
  3. CThe concentration of products
  4. DThe equilibrium constant is dimensionless

Correct answer

B. The concentration of reactants

Step-by-step solution

The subscript 'c' in the equilibrium constant expression Kc indicates that it is expressed in concentrations of mol L-1 (concentration of reactants and products).
