Which of the following will change the numerical value of the equilibrium constant of a particular reaction?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant (K) is a ratio of the concentrations of products and reactants at equilibrium. Therefore, changing the concentrations of reactants and products will affect the ratio, but the actual value of K will remain constant. However, changing the temperature will affect the value of K, as it changes the equilibrium concentrations of products and reactants, and alters the activation energy and rate of the reaction. Increasing the temperature can also shift the equilibrium position, which changes the value of K.
