Q7 / 55 · KVPY 2020 (SA) · Chemistry

Among the following, the correct statement about the chemical equilibrium is.

  • A
    Equilibrium constant is independent of temperature.
  • B
    Equilibrium constant tells us how fast the reaction reaches equilibrium.
  • C
    At equilibrium, the forward and the backward reactions stop so that the concentrations of reactants and products are constant.
  • Correct answer
    D
    Equilibrium constant is independent of whether you start the reaction with reactants or products.

Solution

  • Equilibrium constant is dependent on temperature.
  • Equilibrium constant do not tell us about the rate of reaction.
  • At equilibrium, the forward and backward reactions do not stop but they have same rate.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
