Question

For a specific reaction, which of the following statements can be made about K, the equilibrium constant?

• A. It depends on the pressure of the reaction
• B. It increases if the concentration of one of the products is increased.
• C. It changes with changes in the temperature.
• D.
  
  All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is C It changes with changes in the temperature.

For Equilibrium constant K, the value of equilibrium constant for a particular reaction is always constant depending upon the temperature of the reaction and is independent of the concentration of reactant or product with which we start or the directions from which equilibrium is approached. It also does not depend on the pressure. However, it depends on the temperature of the reaction.
