Assertion (A) : The equilibrium constant...

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

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The equilibrium constant is always fixed and is characteristic of a reaction at specified temperature. However final composition of a reaction mixutre at equlibrium at constant temperature depends on the intiial concentration of reactants and products.

The equilibrium constant of a reversible reaction at a given temperature

Assertion (A) : Equilibrium constant of a reaction increases if temperature is increased Reason (R) : The forward reaction becomes faster with increase of temperature.

Assertion (A): The endothermic reactions are favoured at lower temperature and the exothermic reactions are favoured at higher temperature. Reason (R ) : when a system in equilibrium is disturbed by changing the temperature, it will tend to adjust itself so as to overcome the effect of the change.

Assertion (A) : The rate of a chemical reaction whether exothermic or endothermic increases with temperature. Reason (R ): The rate reaction =k["Reactant"]^(n) and k increases with temperature.

Assertion (A) : The value of K increases with increase in temperature in case of endothermic reaction Reason (R) : The increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium in the backward direction in case of exothermic reaction.

For a given reversible reaction at a fixed temperature, equilibrium constants K_(p) and K_(c) are related by ………

Assertion : The equilibrium constant for the reverse reaction is equal to the inverse of the equilibrium constant for the forward reaction . Reason : The value of equilibrium constant is independent of initial concentrations of the reactants and products.

Assertion (A) : For a first order, the concentration of a reaction decreases exponentially with time. Reason (R ): The rate of reaction at any time depends upon the concentration of the reactant at that time.

Assertion (A) : When a catalyst is added to a reaction mixture in equilibrium the amount of the products increases. Reason (R) : The forward reaction becomes faster on adding the catalyst.

Assertion:- The reaction quotient Q, has the same presentation form as the equilibrium constant K and Q is evaluated using any given concentrations of the species involved in the reaction, and not necesssarily equilibrium concenetrations. Reason:- If the numerical value of Q is not the same as the value of equilibrium constant, that time reaction will never proceed.
