- Most reaction do not go to completions. Equilibrium is established between the reactants and products. For the reaction of A with B to produce C and D, we can write the chemical equation as: аА + bв + сс + dD where + represents equilibrium between the reactants and products. The extent to which the reaction proceeds to product formation, at a given temperature, is given by the equilibrium constant, Kę. The equilibrium constant is written mathematically (for the above equation) as: [C[[D]* K. = [A]°[B]" where, a, b, c, and d are the stoichiometric coefficients from the balanced chemical equation and the brackets, [ ], indicate molar concentration. 1.
