Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Equilibrium constant of a reaction changes on changing the stoichiometric coefficients of the reaction.
The reaction: $N_{2} (g) + 3 H_{2} (g) ⇌ 2 {N H}_{3} (g) K_{1}$ and $\frac{1}{2} N_{2} (g) + \frac{3}{2} H_{2} (g) ⇌ {N H}_{3} (g) K_{2}$ have different equilibrium constants.
$K_{2} = \sqrt{K_{1}}$
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
