Assertion : The equilibrium constant is fixed and a characteristic for any given chemical reaction at a specified temperature.
Reason: The composition of the final equilibrium mixture at a particular temperature depends upon the starting amount of reactants.
Options
- AIf both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
- BIf both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
- CIf assertion is true but reason is false
- DIf both assertion and reason are false.
Correct answer
B. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion
Step-by-step solution
The equilibrium constant is always fixed and is characteristic of a reaction at specified temperature. However final composition of a reaction mixture at equilibrium at constant temperature depends on the initial concentration of reactants and products.
