Question

Which of the following does not affect the equilibrium constant (Kc) of a reaction?
Options
A Change in concentration
Correct Answer
B Temperature
C Catalysts
D Pressure
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The equilibrium constant, Kc, is only affected by changes in temperature. Changes in concentration, pressure, or the addition of a catalyst can shift the equilibrium position, but they do not change the value of the equilibrium constant itself.

Hint

Kc is a constant at a given temperature. Which factor changes its value?
