Consider the following equilibrium in a closed container, 
At a fixed temperature, the volume of the reaction container is halved. For this change, which of the following statements hold true regarding the equilibrium constant 
and degree of dissociation ( 
)?
A
Neither 
nor 
changes
nor changes B
Both 
and 
changes
and changes C
changes but a does not change D
does not change but 
changes
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
is dependent on temperatures.
When volume is halved, 
remains constant but ( 
) degree of dissociation changes.
(degree of dissociation)
where,
moles of (gaseous products - gaseous reactants)
is proportional to 
.
does not change but 
changes.
