Answer: The greatest concentration of C would be produced if the equilibrium constant of the reaction is equal to [tex]1\times 10^9[/tex]

Explanation:

Equilibrium constant is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each raised to the power their stoichiometric ratios. It is expressed as [tex]K_c[/tex]

For the given chemical reaction:

[tex]A+B\rightarrow C[/tex]

The expression for [tex]K_c[/tex] is written as:

[tex]K_c=\frac{[C]}{[A][B]}[/tex]

Thus higher is the value of [tex]K_c[/tex] , higher will be the concentration of C. Thus the greatest concentration of C would be produced if the equilibrium constant of the reaction is equal to [tex]1\times 10^9[/tex]
