Question
which of the following describes a reaction with a slow rate of reaction and a large k value?
very quickly moves to an equilibrium ratio of all products
slowly moves to an equilibrium ratio of a few products and lots of reactants
very quickly moves to an equilibrium ratio of a few products and lots of reactants
slowly moves to an equilibrium ratio of a lot of products and a few reactants
The rate of a reaction refers to how quickly it proceeds to equilibrium. A large equilibrium constant ($K$) indicates that at equilibrium, there are more products than reactants. Since the rate is slow, the reaction will slowly move to an equilibrium state with a lot of products and few reactants.
