Question

What is the effect of a ten-fold increase in pressure on $K_p$ in the reaction $N_2(g)+3H_2(g)2N{H}_3(g)$ at equilibrium?

• A. A ten-fold increase
• B. A ten-fold decrease
• C. No change
• D. Equal to $K_c$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$K_P$ is a constant and depends only upon temperature. Thus, it remains unaffected by change in pressure.
