equilibrium constant

Postby 505968894 » Sun Feb 05, 2023 10:12 pm

At a particular temperature, how many equilibrium constants can exist?

There can only be one equilibrium constant at a given temperature.

Only one per each temperature. Each different temperature will have a slightly different constant.

I agree with the other responses, there will only be one equilibrium constant per temperature for a certain reaction.

At a particular temperature there is only 1 equilibrium constant that exists

Hello,

The equilibrium constant for a reaction under a specific temperature and condition will be unique to the reaction at that temperature, meaning that for any other temperature, the reaction would have a different value for the equilibrium constant due to the difference in stability of the process. Therefore, at one given temperature, a chemical reaction can have only one equilibrium constant.

Hi!
At a certain temperature, only one equilibrium constant exists. In order to find more equilibrium constants for the same reaction, the temperature must be changed.
I hope that this helps!

There will only be one equilibrium constant since it measures the relationship between products and reactants at equilibrium.

Hello! There is only one equilibrium constant per temperature. Once there is a change in temperature, the the value of the equilibrium constant will change.

At each temperature, there is only one possible equilibrium constant because change in temperature changes the equilibrium constant.

The equilibrium constant is dependent on the Temperature. Remember that cooling a substance will reduce the rate of a reaction and therefore change the equilibrium constant and heating a substance will have the opposite effect.

Remember that K depends on temperature, so at a specific temperature K will remain the same, even if the concentrations of the Products/Reactants decreases/increases.
