Consider the following equilibrium in a closed container : `N_(2)O_(4) (g) hArr 2 NO_(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 degree of dissociation `(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
`K_(p)` is constant at constant temperature . As volume is halved , pressure will be doubled . Hence, equilibrium will shift in the backward direction , i.e, degree of dissociation decreases .
