Question

For the reaction, $H_2\left(g\right)+I_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2HI\left(g\right)$, the equilibrium constant, $K_p$, changes with:

• A. total pressure
• B. catalyst
• C. the amounts of $H_2$ and $I_2$ taken
• D. temperature

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

temperature

For the reaction, $H_2\left(g\right)+I_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2HI\left(g\right)$, the equilibrium constant, $K_p$, changes with temperature and is independent of the actual quantities of reactants and products, the presence of a catalyst and the presence of inert material. It is also independent of concentrations, pressures and volumes of reactants and products.
