products are favored over reactants in the reaction.

Keq = 1 indicates that the system is in equilibrium, meaning the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. This implies that the concentration of products and reactants in the reaction mixture are stable and not changing over time.
If Keq is less than 1, it indicates that the equilibrium lies to the left, favoring the reactants at equilibrium. This means that the forward reaction is less favored compared to the reverse reaction.
keq = 1.125
The units for the equilibrium constant, Keq, are dimensionless.
No, the equilibrium constant, Keq, is a unitless quantity.
The equilibrium constant Keq is calculated using the concentrations of the products raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients divided by the concentrations of the reactants raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients. In this case, Keq = [NH3]^2 / ([N2] * [H2]^3) = (3)^2 / (1*2^3) = 9 / 8.
