Consider the following equilibrium in a closed container `N_(2)O_(4)(g) hArr 2NO_(2)(g)` At a fixed temperature, the volume of the reaction container is halved. For this change, which of the following statement holds true regarding the equilibrium constant `(K_(p))` and the degree of diffociation `(alpha)`?A. Neither `K_(p)` nor `alpha` changesB. Both `K_(p)` and `alpha` changeC. `K_(p)` changes but `alpha` does not changeD. `K_(p)` does not change but `alpha` changes

Answer» Correct Answer - D
The equilibrium constant depends only upon temperature. For endothermic reaction, the value of K increases with increase in temperature and vice-versa. The degree of dissociation must change to adjust for the new concentrations.
