A.
Same
AnswerB.
Doubled
C.
Halved
D.
One fourth of its original value
Answer: Option A
Solution
Answer: Option A
Solution:
Consider an elementary reaction and let equilibrium concentrations of and be and So equilibrium constant is
When the concentrations of both the species doubled equilibrium constant becomes Hence remains constant.
