In a reversible chemical reaction having two reactants in equilibrium, if the concentration of the reactants are doubled, then the equilibrium constant will________________?

Correct answer: A. Remain the same

  • A. Remain the same
  • B. Be halved
  • C. Also be doubled
  • D. Become one fourth

Explanation

At a fixed temperature, the equilibrium constant depends only on temperature and the reaction stoichiometry, not on the starting concentrations. Doubling the reactant concentrations changes the equilibrium position, but not K.
