Changes to K
Are there any changes, besides changes to temperature, that would affect the equilibrium constant?

Re: Changes to K
No, I believe that the only thing that can change the equilibrium constant (Kc) would be temperature, otherwise, the system will just adjust to the changes and return to equilibrium with the same equilibrium constant.

Re: Changes to K
No, from my understanding the only thing that can change the equilibrium constant is temperature.

Re: Changes to K
No, I think (at least from what we've learned so far) only temperature can change the equilibrium constant.

Re: Changes to K
As far as we've learned only temperature affects the K constant. Everything else, like molar concentrations or pressure, will not change the constant

Re: Changes to K
Of the factors that we covered in Dr. Lavelle's lecture, K is only changed by temperature. However, does anyone know out of curiosity if there are other factors that influence K that weren't covered in lecture?
Re: Changes to K
Some people assume that adding a catalyst to a reaction may cause a change in the value of K, however, it isn't the case. The only possible thing that could affect the value of K is temperature.

No, I believe the only element that would affect the equilibrium constant would be temperature.

Re: Changes to K
Only a change in temperature would affect the equilibrium constant. The other factors that we have covered (such as change in concentration and change in pressure) do not affect the equilibrium constant.

Re: Changes to K
No, I believe that from what Professor Lavelle told us only temperature can change the equilibrium constant.
