The equilibrium constant (Kp) for the reaction PCl5(g) PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) is 16. If the volume of the container is reduced to one half its original volume, the value of Kp for the reaction at the same temperature will be
A.32
B.64
C.16✓ Correct
D.4
Explanation
Acc. To Le-Chatelier’s principle, whatever the change is applied on reaction at some temp. the value of equilibrium constant does not change.
