Explain equilibrium constant for the process is very low

Reference no: EM13528667

Le Chatelier's principle describes the way that a reaction at equilibrium will respond if that equilibrium is somehow disturbed. Imagine that you have a reversible reaction you want to perform that produces a very valuable product but the equilibrium constant for the process is very low. Using the 3 definitions of equilibrium presented in lecture as your framework, explain in no more than 1 paragraph how the yield of reaction can be greatly increased (meaning reactants are more extensively converted into products) by applying Le Chatliers principle.
The 3 definitions we learned in lecture:

1. rate of forward reaction= rate of reverse reaction

2. no observable change in [reactants] or [products]

3. no change in energy
