Solution
The correct option is DKp remains constant with change in P andx At constant temperature, the equilibrium constant (Kp) for the decomposition reaction, N2O4⇌2NO2 is expressed by: Kp=4x2P(1−x2) Where, P=pressure, x= extent of decomposition. The following statement is true. (D) Kp remains constant with change in P andx The value of the equilibrium constant depends on temperature. It is not affected by changes in concentration, pressure, extent of dissociation or presence of catalyst.
