On which factor, the equilibrium constant value changer?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Temperature. If the forward reaction is exothermic, the backward reaction in the equilibrium is endothermic. Increase temperature favours the endothermic reaction. So the equilibrium constant changes.

For an exothermic reaction, what happens to the equilibrium constant if temperature is raised?

Passage: When all the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation are multiplied by a constant factor X the equilibrium constant (originally K) becomes K^J . Similarly, when balanced equations are added together, the equilibrium constant for the combined process is equal to the product of the equilibrium constants for each step. Equilibrium constant of the reversed reaction is numerically equal to the reciprocal of the equilibrium constant of the original equation. Unit of K_p = ("atm")^(Deltan) , Unit of K_c =("mol" L^(-1))^(Deltan) Consider the two reactions: XeF_(6(g))+H_(2)O_((g)) harr XeOF_(4(g))+2HF_((g)), K_(1)" "XeO_(4(g))+XeF_(6(g)) harr XeOF_(4(g))+XeO_(3)F_(2(g)), K_(2) Then the equilibrium constant for the following reaction will be XeO_(4(g))+2HF_((g)) harr XeO_(3)F_(2(g))+H_(2)O_((g))
