Consider the following equilibrium in a closed container
`N_(2)O_(4)(g) hArr 2NO_(2)(g)`
At a fixed temperature, the volume of the reaction container is halved. For this change, which of the following statement holds true regarding the equilibrium constant `(K_(p))` and the degree of dissociation `(alpha)`?

Options

A. Neither `K_(p) "nor" alpha` changes
B. Both `Kp "and" alpha` changes
C. `Kp "changes but" alpha` does not change
D. `Kp "does not change but" alpha` changes

Explanation

`N_(2)O_(4) rarr 2NO_(2)`
At constant temperature, changing the volume will change both p and `alpha` but Kp remains constant
