Question

Which of the following statements is false and not a part of the purpose of the equilibrium experiment? The equilibrium constant is independent of starting proportions of reactants and products The equilbrium constant is independent of the direction that the reaction needs to shift The equilibrium constant is independent of the temperature at which the reaction takes place. The equilibrium constant is independent of the initial reactant concentrations The equilibrium constant is independent of the initial product concentrations

Explanation / Answer

The only experimental factor that can affect the magnitude of equilibrium constant is TEMPERATURE.

Thus statement 3m that states ' the equilibrium constant is independent of temperature of reaction ' is FALSE.

The value of equilibrium constant DOES NOT depend on the initial concentrations of reactants or products, but only on the equilibrium concentrations.

The magnitude of equilibrium constant also does not depend on the direction the reaction needs to shift , but on the direction of writing the stoichiometric equation.
