NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium
Assertion : Increasing the concentration of ( H ₂ ) will increase magnitude of equilibrium constant of the reaction ( H ₂+ I ₂ 2 HI ) Reason : Value of ( K _ C ) depends upon the concentration of reactants and products taken.
Options
- AIf both Assertion & Reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark (1).
- BIf both Assertion & Reason are true but the reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion, then mark
- CIf Assertion is true statement but Reason is false, then mark (3).
- DIf both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).
Correct answer
D. If both Assertion and Reason are false statements, then mark (4).
Step-by-step solution
Value of ( K _ c ) indeed depends upon concentration of products and reactants at equilibrium, not initial concentration. But in the given equation, increase in concentration of ( H ₂ ) or ( I ₂ ) or HI will not affect the equilibrium constant.
