Question

Consider the equilibrium process (K = 34 at 25 °C):

Lactose (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇌ Glucose (aq) + Galactose (aq)

Is the formation of products favored at equilibrium? What are the relative concentrations of the species involved at equilibrium?

Accepted Answer

Yes
[Glucose] = 34[Lactose]/[Galactose]
[Galactose] = 34[Lactose]/[Glucose]
[Lactose] = (1/34)[Glucose][Galactose]

Answer

No
[Glucose] = 34[Lactose]/[Galactose]
[Galactose] = 34[Lactose]/[Glucose]
[Lactose] = (1/34)[Glucose][Galactose]

Answer

No
[Glucose] = 34[Lactose]/[Galactose]
[Galactose] = 34[Lactose]/[Glucose]
[Lactose] = 34[Glucose][Galactose]

Answer

Yes
[Glucose] = 34[Lactose]/[Galactose]
[Galactose] = 34[Lactose]/[Glucose]
[Lactose] = 34[Glucose][Galactose]
