K's Magnitude Read Qualitatively

State

A very large K means a reaction favors products heavily at equilibrium; a very small K means it favors reactants heavily; neither implies the reaction is fast.

Show

K = 10¹⁵ predicts an equilibrium mixture that is essentially all product, however slowly it gets there.

Watch for

A large K describes equilibrium position, not reaction speed — that is Unit 9's separate question.
