Consider an one step reaction at equilibrium. What cannot be said about the equilibrium constant? a )It is pressure dependent b) It is temperature dependent c) It is the ratio of the products over the reactants d) It is the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction over the rate of the reverse reaction
Ans :- Option (a) i.e. It is pressure dependent .
Explanation :-
Equilibrium constant only depends upon temperature. I do not depends upon change in pressure, concentration, catalyst and addition of inert gases.
It is define as the "ratio of product of the molar concentration of products to the product of the product of molar concentration of reactants raised to the power of stoichiometric coefficient with respect to each reagent".
Also, It is the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction (rf) over the rate of the reverse reaction (rb).
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
