Volume factor can appear in equilibrium constant expression in:
Correct answer: C. Both A and B
- A. Denominator
- B. Numerator
- C. Both A and B
- D. Only in Numerator
Explanation
During equilibrium the volume factor be in numerator or in denominator. As when there is decrease in volume, the equilibrium will shift to favour the direction that produces fewer moles of gas. When there is increases of volume the equilibrium will shift to favour the direction that produces more moles of gas. Thus this option covers both option A and option B which both are true.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
