. There is only one value of the equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there are an infinite number of equilibrium positions. Explain.
Interpretation:
The statement, “there is only one value of equilibrium constant for a particular system at a particular temperature, but there are an infinite number of equilibrium positions”, is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The equilibrium state of a chemical reaction is the state at which the rate of reaction going into the forward direction becomes equal to the rate of reaction going into the backward direction. A general equilibrium reaction is represented as,
The equilibrium constant of a reaction is the ratio of concentration of products and reactants. The equilibrium constant of a particular reaction will only depend on the temperature at which reaction occurs and not on the initial concentration of the reactants.
The equilibrium position of a reaction is the set of equilibrium concentrations of reactants and products. The equilibrium positions of a reaction depend on the initial concentration of the reactants...
