How Do You Calculate the Equilibrium Constant for This Reaction?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The equilibrium constant (Keq) for a chemical reaction is calculated using the formula Keq = Products / Reactants. In this context, it is essential to interpret "products" and "reactants" as the right side and left side of the reaction, respectively. This clarification emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying the components of the reaction when calculating Keq. For further details, refer to the discussion linked in the forum.

I attached the problem with this post. I know Keq= Products/Reactants

Is that what I would have to do here? Treat T as products and R as reactants?

In equilibrium systems the terms "products" and "reactants" are a bit of a misnomer.

Think of it instead as (Right Side) / (Left Side).
