According to law of mass action, Kp > Kc when reaction occurs with

Correct answer: B. increase in volume on product side

  • A. decrease in volume on product side
  • B. increase in volume on product side
  • C. increase in volume on reactant side
  • D. simultaneous increase and decrease of product

Explanation

This implies more moles of gases on the product side than on the reactant side, making Δn positive. Hence, Kp>Kc

About Reaction Kinetics

Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
