Concentrations Effect on K
If the concentration of each reactant and product increased by the same amount, would K also increase or would it stay the same since it is a ratio?
Re: Concentrations Effect on K
K does not change when concentration changes, so the ratio remains the same regardless of change in product or reactant concentration occurs.

Re: Concentrations Effect on K
K doesn't change when concentrations change. However, a change of temperature can change an equilibrium constant.

Re: Concentrations Effect on K
K only changes when the ratio of products and reactants change, but when concentrations change, the ratio stays the same. Therefore, K stays the same.

Re: Concentrations Effect on K
What if there are two products from one reactant? Wouldn't the products then be doubled if you added .100 mol of substance of each?

Re: Concentrations Effect on K
K will not change if the concentrations of both the reactants and the products change by the same amount. This is the case because their ratio would remain the same.
Re: Concentrations Effect on K
Like explained in lecture, change in concentration as well as change in pressure - k does not change.
