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.) \[ \begin{array}{l} c 00 \% \\ \mathrm{R} \quad \mathrm{P} \end{array} \] \( \mathrm{R} \) and \( \mathrm{P} \) can interconvert. That \( \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{R} \) can turn into \( \mathrm{P} \), and \( \mathrm{P} \) can turn back into \( \mathrm{R} \) : \[ \mathrm{R}(a q) \equiv \mathrm{P}(a q) \quad K=11 \] The equilibrium constant \( K \) for this equilibrium is 11. Predict the number of \( \mathrm{R} \) and \( \mathrm{P} \) molecules in this sample when the interconversion reaches equilibrium. number of \( \mathrm{R} \) molecules: number of \( \mathrm{P} \) molecules:
