Shifts in Equilibrium — Quiz

Question 5 • Chemistry

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, which statement is true ?

Answer
A
The equilibrium constant increases with the concentration of reactants.
B
The equilibrium constant is unchanged by temperature changes.
C
The equilibrium constant changes with a change in temperature.
D
The equilibrium constant decreases with the concentration of products.

Explanation

Le Chatelier’s principle describes how an equilibrium shifts when conditions change, but the equilibrium constant is determined by temperature. Changing reactant or product concentrations can shift the equilibrium position, yet it does not change the equilibrium constant. Therefore, the true statement is that the equilibrium constant changes when the temperature changes.
