(a)
(b)
(c)
Explanation
According to the generalizations concerning the composition of equilibrium mixtures, if , products predominate over reactants, and if , reactants predominate over products. For reaction (a), , which is very small, meaning reactants predominate. For reaction (b), , which is very large, meaning products predominate. For reaction (c), , which is neither very large nor very small (between and ), indicating that the reaction mixture will have an appreciable concentration of both reactants and products.
