Assertion : Equilibrium constant has me...

Assertion : Equilibrium constant has meaning only when the corresponding balanced chemical equation is given.
Reason : Its value changes for the new equation obtained by multiplying or dividing the original equation by a number.

A

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

B

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

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`aA + bB hArr cC +dD`
`K_c =([C]^c[D]^d)/([A]^(a)[B]^(b))`
For `2aA + 2bBhArr2cC+2dD`
`K_c =([C]^(2c)[D]^(2d))/([A]^(2a)[B]^(2b))`

Assertion : In rate law, unlike in the expression for equilibrium constants, the exponents for concentration do not necessarily match the stoichiometric coefficients. Reason : It is the mechanism and not the balanced chemical equation for the overall change that governs the reaction rate.

Assertion: Order of the reaction can be zero or fractional. Reason: We cannot determine order from balanced chemical equation.
