A tiny sample of an aqueous solution of two substances R and

A tiny sample of an aqueous solution of two substances R and P is sketched below, as if it was under an imaginary microscope so powerful that individual molecules could be seen. (The water molecules are not shown.) R and P can interconvert. That is, R can turn into P, and P can turn back into R: R(aq)=P(aq) number of R molecules: The equilibrium constant K for this equilibrium is 9. Predict the number of R and P molecules in this sample when the interconversion reaches equilibrium. number of P molecules:
