Question

For the homogeneous gaseous equilibrium $H_2(g) + I_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2HI(g)$, the equilibrium constant is $64$ at a given temperature. If the volume of the container is suddenly reduced to half of its original volume at the same temperature, what will be the new value of the equilibrium constant?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. The equilibrium constant for a specific balanced chemical equation is fundamentally dependent *only* on temperature. It is entirely independent of system pressure, container volume, or initial concentrations. Thus, changing the volume will not alter its value of .
