Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct The equilibrium of A(g)⇌B(g)+C(g) is affected by changing the volume. The reaction proceeds through an increase in the number of moles of gaseous species. When the volume of the container is decreased, the pressure is increased and the equilibrium will shift in the backward direction.
Kc for the reaction does not depend on the volume of the container. It is dependent on temperature only.
Hence, the assertion is incorrect but the Reason is correct.
