Question

For a reversible reaction, if the concentration of the reactants is reduced to half, the equilibrium constant will be__________

• A. Doubled
• B. Halved
• C. Reduced to one-fourth
• D. Remains same

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The value of equilibrium constant $K_{eq}$ is independent of initial concentrations of reactants and products. So, options $(a),(b)$ and $(c)$ are not correct, i.e. so, for a reversible reaction, if the concentration of the reactants is reduced to half, the equilibrium constant will be remains same.
