Concept explainers
To determine:
The explanation of the given reaction by the use of Le Chatelier’s principle.
Introduction:
The equilibrium constant is a parameter which describes the relationship between the concentration of the reactants and the products at equilibrium stage. The equilibrium constant of a reaction is expressed by the ratio of the concentration of product species raised to the power of their
According to the Le Chatelier’s principle the change in concentration, volume, pressure, and temperature affect the equilibrium constant of the reaction.
