Solution

The correct option is D The position of equilibrium cannot be disturbed by changing the concentrations of reactants or products
The magnitude of the equilibrium constant is not affected by the changes in concentrations of reactants and products.

However, the position of the equilibrium constant can be affected by changing the concentration of reactants and products.

Q. Chemical equilibrium can be attained from either side, i.e., from the side of reactants or products.

2 H I ⇌ H_{2} + I_{2}

The rate of a chemical reaction is defined as a change in the concentration of reactants or products with respect to which of the following parameter?

Q. For any chemical reaction, at the start of reaction concentration of the 1 is maximum and the concentration of products is 2 . As the reaction proceeds, the concentration of reactants 3 gradually and the concentration of the product 4 gradually. The change in concentration of the reactant or product with respect to time is known as
the 5 .

Consider the reaction $A ⟶ B$ . The concentration of both the reactants and the products varies exponentially with time. Which of the following figures correctly describes the change in concentration of reactants and products with time?

Q. The equilibrium is established when the reaction is still in progress. Since the number of molecules of reactants getting converted to products is equal to the number of molecules of products getting converted to reactants, there is no change in concentration of reactants
and products. Thus the equilibrium is said to be dynamic in nature.
