Assertion: The equilibriurn constant is fixed and characteristic for any given chemical reactionata specified temperature.
Reason : The composition of the final equilibrium mixture at a particular temperature depends upon the starting amount of reactants.

A

If both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

B

If both (A) and (R) are correct, but(R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

C

If(A) is correct, but (R) is incorrect

If both (A) and (R) are incorrect

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
If the starting amounts are changed the composition of the equilibrium mixture changes in such a way that Kremains constant at constant temperature.
