Which of the following statements regarding the law of mass action and the mass action expression is NOT true?
A) The law of mass action defines the equilibrium constant to be the ratio of the forward and reverse rate constants for a particular equilibrium expression.
B) The law of mass action states that the ratio of product concentrations to reactant concentrations,raised to powers equal to their coefficients in a balanced chemical reaction,has a characteristic value at a given temperature.
C) The mass action expression is equivalent to the equilibrium expression in form but may be applied to reaction mixtures that are not at equilibrium.
D) At a given temperature,the characteristic ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium will be the same regardless of the composition of the starting mixture.
E) At a given temperature,the equilibrium concentrations of products and reactants depend on the composition of the starting mixture.
