The symbol for the equilibrium constant is K.


Why do we use k for constant of proportionality?

You can basically use any letter for a constant. "c" is often used because it's the first letter of "constant"; the use of "k" probably arises either from the fact that it has the same sound, in English, as "k"; or from other languages where the word "constant" is written with a "k" (e.g., "Konstante" in German).

What is the antiderivative squared 0 9X18 squared X 17 X 18?

Let k = 0 9x18 squared x 17 x 18 k is a constant. Its anti-derivative is kx + C, where C is a constant. The anti-derivative squared is (kx+ C) squared.


What is a pointless letter?

C, which has either an S or a K sound when it is used in words. So there is no need for a C when an S or a K could be used instead.


Translate C varies jointly a d and the cube of e and inversely as the square root of m?

C = k*a*d*e^3/sqrt(m) where k is a constant.


What is the integral of 1 over c to the power of 1 minus x?

use this strategy: integral of (b^x) dx = (b^x)/ln(b) + K [K is integration constant, b is not a variable]rewrite (1/c)^(1-x) = ((1/c)^1)*((1/c)^(-x)) = (1/c)*(c^x). (1/c) is a constant, so bring outside the integral, then let b = c in the formula above, and you have (1/c)*(c^x)/ln(c) + K


What is inversely and directly proportional?

Two variables, X and Y are said to be in inversely proportional is X*Y - k where k is some non-zero constant. X and Y are said to be directly proportional if X = c*Y where c is some constant.

Vol = k*Temp where k is a constant. Vol2 = Vol1*T2/T1 = 5.00*373/223 = 8.36 litres, approx.


What is a symbol representing value that doesn't change?

It is often represented by c for constant or k for its phonetic equivalent. But as long as you declare it as a constant, any symbol will do.
