Q37 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2020 (18 Sep Shift 1) · Chemistry

For a reversible reaction, if the concentration of the reactants is reduced to half, the equilibrium constant will be.........

  • A
    doubled
  • B
    halved
  • C
    reduced to one-fourth
  • Correct answer
    D
    remains same

Solution

The value of equilibrium constant \(K_{\mathrm{eq}}\) is independent of initial concentrations of reactants and products. So, options (a), (b) and (c) are not correct, i.e. so, for a reversible reaction, if the concentration of the reactants is reduced to half, the equilibrium constant will be remains same.

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