IF Kc Value is low....

What does it say about the position of the equilibrium??

I know with Kp a high value means it moves the right, does the same apply to Kc??

thx

yes

Cheers buddy.
Just more thing. If you have more moles on the right than the left (say reaction goes from 5 moles to 1 mole), increasing pressure would increase the yield on the right. Would the rate of reaction remain unchanged?

Thanks for your time.

The rate of a reaction is independant of the equilibrium position.

Increasing the pressure increases the rate of the forward reaction initially, but of course at equiibrium the rate of forward and back reactions are equal.
