Question
Consider the following equilibrium in a closed container. N2O4(g) $\rightleftharpoons$2NO2(g)
At a fixed temperature, the volume of the reaction container is halved. For this change, which of the following statement holds true regarding the equilibrium constant (KP) and degree of dissociation (α)?
Options
A.Neither KP nor α changes.
B.Both KP and α changes.
C.KP changes, but α does not change.
D.KP does not change, but α changes.
Solution
Kp is a function of temperature only. On reducing the volume, equilibrium will shift backward and hence, α will decrease.
