Question

13. Explain why changes in the concentrations of the
reactants and products at equilibrium have no effect
on the value of the equilibrium constant.

Answer 1

Answer:

It is temperature dependent only

Explanation:

For any system in equilibrium, the molar concentration of all species on the right hand side are related to the molar concentrations of those at the left side by a constant known as the equilibrium constant.

• The equilibrium constant is a constant at a given temperature.
• The constant is temperature dependent only.
• It is not dependent on the values of concentration or pressure of a system.
