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
C. If assertion is true but reason is false.
Step-by-step solution
The equilibrium constant is always fixed and is a characteristic of a reaction at specified temperature. It defines the composition of the final equilibrium mixture of that reaction, regardless of the starting amount of reactants and products.
