Question

For the equilibrium, PCl₅ ⇋ PCl₃ + Cl₂ K_c = α²/(1 −α)V , temperature remaining constant:

(A) K_c will increase with the increase in volume

(B) K_c will increase with decrease in volume

(C) K_c will not change with the change in volume

(D) K_c may increase or decrease with the change in volume depending upon its numerical value.

Answer 1

Correct option (D) K_c may increase or decrease with the change in volume depending upon its numerical value.

Explanation:

K_c is characteristic constant for a given reaction at a temperature.
