An equilibrium constant ...
A. is independent of temperature.
B. is small when the products are favored in the reaction.
C. is calculated by dividing the concentration of the reactants by the concentration of the products.
D. is the same, regardless of the initial concentrations of reactants.
E. All of these.
I can already eliminate A and E..and B..but was unsure about C and D
If you have decided that B is wrong then C must be wrong also. K is [Products]/[Reactants].
Which only leaves you with D
def not d.
Anonymous above is wrong
I just answered and it's D
It seems wrong, but D is the CORRECT answer.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the definition and characteristics of an equilibrium constant.
An equilibrium constant (K) is a value that quantitatively describes the position of a chemical equilibrium for a given reaction. It is calculated by dividing the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants, with each concentration raised to the power of its stoichiometric coefficient. The equation for the equilibrium constant depends on the chemical reaction being considered.
Option C states that the equilibrium constant is calculated by dividing the concentration of the reactants by the concentration of the products. This statement is incorrect. The equilibrium constant is calculated by dividing the concentration of the products by the concentration of the reactants. Therefore, option C is incorrect.
Option D states that the equilibrium constant is the same, regardless of the initial concentrations of the reactants. This statement is correct. The equilibrium constant is a characteristic of a specific reaction at a given temperature and remains constant as long as the temperature remains constant. It is independent of the initial concentrations of the reactants. So, option D is correct.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option D.
