The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) regarding the equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction: \[ H_2 + I_2 \rightleftharpoons 2HI \] ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion (A) The assertion states that increasing the concentration of \( H_2 \) will increase the magnitude of the equilibrium constant \( K_c \). **Analysis**: The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) for the reaction is given by: \[ K_c = \frac{[HI]^2}{[H_2][I_2]} \] Here, \( [HI] \), \( [H_2] \), and \( [I_2] \) are the concentrations of the products and reactants at equilibrium. ### Step 2: Effect of Concentration Change on \( K_c \) When we increase the concentration of \( H_2 \), the reaction will shift according to Le Chatelier's principle to the right to produce more \( HI \). However, this does not change the value of \( K_c \) itself; it only affects the concentrations of the reactants and products until a new equilibrium is established. **Conclusion**: The assertion is **false** because increasing \( H_2 \) does not increase the magnitude of \( K_c \). ### Step 3: Understand the Reason (R) The reason states that the value of \( K_c \) depends upon the concentration of reactants and products taken. **Analysis**: The equilibrium constant \( K_c \) is a fixed value at a given temperature and does not depend on the concentrations of reactants or products. It is derived from the concentrations at equilibrium, but changing the concentrations does not change \( K_c \). **Conclusion**: The reason is also **false** because \( K_c \) does not depend on the concentrations of reactants and products. ### Final Conclusion Both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are false. Therefore, the correct answer is that both statements are false. ### Summary of Steps: 1. **Analyze the assertion**: Determine if increasing \( H_2 \) increases \( K_c \) (it does not). 2. **Analyze the reason**: Determine if \( K_c \) depends on concentrations (it does not). 3. **Conclude**: Both assertion and reason are false.
