Answer» (a) Equilibrium constant at a given temperature is the ratio of product of molar concentrations of the products to that of the reactants, each concentration term being raised to the respective stoichiometric coefficients in the balanced chemical equation. (b) 1. The value of equilibrium constant is independent of the initial concentrations of the reactants and products. 2. Equilibrium constant is temperature dependent having one unique value for a particular reaction represented by a balanced equation at a given temperature. |
