Chemistry · Factors affecting equilibrium: concentration, pressure, temperature, the effect of catalyst, Le Chatelier's principle

Which of the following will change the value of the equilibrium constant for the

Which of the following will change the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction? \( N_{2}(g)+O_{2}(g) \leftrightharpoons 2 N O(g) \)

  • A. Add more \( N_{2} \)
  • B. Increase of pressure
  • C. Use a smaller reaction vessel
  • D. Increase the temperature

Step-by-step solution

The equilibrium constant (K) is only dependent on temperature. Changing concentration, pressure, or volume does not alter K; only temperature changes can affect the value of the equilibrium constant. Therefore, increasing the temperature will change the value of K.
