Question

Consider the general hypothetical reaction:
A(s)2B(g)+3C(g)

Solution

The correct option is D 122 times the original value
The given reaction is,
A(s)2B(g)+3C(g)
So the equilibrium constant will be,

Kc=[B]2[C]3....(1)

Now, after doubling the concentration of C, let new concentrations are [C]/ and [B]/.
Given, [C]/=2[C]
So,
Kc=([B]/)2(2[C])3
Kc=([B]/)28[C]3 ...(2)

From (1) and (2),
[B]2[C]3=([B]/)28[C]3
[B]/=122[B]
