The following equilibrium exists in aqueous solution 
⇌ 
. If dilute 
is added without a change in temperature, then the
A
Concentration of 
will increase
will increase
B
Concentration of 
will decrease
will decrease
C
Equilibrium constant will increase
D
Equilibrium constant will decrease
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
When adding HCl in 
solution the concentration of 
is increased. So reaction is proceed in reverse direction and the concentration of 
is decreased.
