If the equilibrium constant K is less than 1, what can be inferred about the reaction?

A. Products are favored
B. Reactants are favored
C. Reaction proceeds completely
D. Equilibrium is reached quickly

Answer: Reactants are favored

Additional Information: A K value less than 1 indicates that reactants are favored at equilibrium.
