Hydrogen is used as a rocket fuel because it is very light and reacts explosively and completely with oxygen. for the combustion reaction 2h2(g)+o2(g)⇌2h2o(g) what is the likely magnitude of the equilibrium constant k?

The reaction tends to completion hence K should be in the order of K>103.

The equilibrium constant is a number that indicates the extent to which reactants are converted to products in a chemical reaction. A high value of equilibrium constant indicates that the system contains mostly products and few reactants at equilibrium. A low equilibrium constant indicates that the concentration of reactants is greater than the concentration of products at equilibrium.

For the reaction;  2H2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2H2O(g), we know the reaction to be explosive and tend to completion since it is a combustion reaction. This means that the reactants are mostly converted to products and the equilibrium constant will be large. Hence K should be in the order of K>103.
