Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions
Which of the following factors does NOT affect the equilibrium constant (K)?
Step 1: Understand what the equilibrium constant (K) is. It is a number that tells us the ratio of products to reactants at equilibrium in a chemical reaction.
Step 2: Know that K is affected by temperature. If the temperature changes, the value of K can change.
Step 3: Learn that changes in concentration (amount of reactants or products) or pressure (for gases) do not change the value of K. They only shift the position of equilibrium.
Step 4: Conclude that the only factor that does NOT affect K is concentration or pressure changes.
