Question

The value of the equilibrium constant for a reaction

a. changes with temperature.
b. changes with time.
c. is the same under all conditions.
d. changes with concentration.

Answer 1

a. changes with temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the thermodynamic definition of the equilibrium constant in terms of the Gibbs free energy of reaction and the temperature of the system:

`lnK=-(\Delta G)/(RT)`

It is possible to figure out that the equilibrium constant varies as temperature does, not only on the aforementioned definition, but also in the Gibbs free energy as it is also temperature-dependent. Therefore, the appropriate answer is a. changes with temperature.
