# The equilibrium constants for three hypothetical reactions at \(298\text{ K}\) are given in the table below.

| Reaction | Chemical equation | \(K_{eq}\) |
|—|—|—|
| 1 | \(\text{A}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{B}(g)\) | \(4.5 \times 10^{4}\) |
| 2 | \(\text{X}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{Y}(g)\) | \(1.2 \times 10^{-1}\) |
| 3 | \(\text{M}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}(g)\) | \(6.8 \times 10^{-8}\) |

Which of the following correctly ranks the reactions in order of greatest tendency to form products to least tendency to form products at \(298\text{ K}\)?

The equilibrium constants for three hypothetical reactions at \(298\text{ K}\) are given in the table below.

| Reaction | Chemical equation | \(K_{eq}\) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | \(\text{A}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{B}(g)\) | \(4.5 \times 10^{4}\) |
| 2 | \(\text{X}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{Y}(g)\) | \(1.2 \times 10^{-1}\) |
| 3 | \(\text{M}(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}(g)\) | \(6.8 \times 10^{-8}\) |

Which of the following correctly ranks the reactions in order of greatest tendency to form products to least tendency to form products at \(298\text{ K}\)?

- **A.** \(\text{Reaction 1} > \text{Reaction 2} > \text{Reaction 3}\)
- **B.** \(\text{Reaction 1} > \text{Reaction 3} > \text{Reaction 2}\)
- **C.** \(\text{Reaction 3} > \text{Reaction 2} > \text{Reaction 1}\)
- **D.** \(\text{Reaction 3} > \text{Reaction 1} > \text{Reaction 2}\)
