Answer:
(E) changing temperature
Explanation:
Consider the following reversible balanced reaction:
aA+bB⇋cC+dD
If we know the molar concentrations of each of the reaction species, we can find the value of Kc using the relationship:
Kc = ([C]^c * [D]^d) / ([A]^a * [B]^b)
where:
[C] and [D] are the concentrations of the products in the equilibrium; [A] and [B] reagent concentrations in equilibrium; already; b; c and d are the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced equation. Concentrations are commonly expressed in molarity, which has units of moles / 1
There are some important things to remember when calculating Kc:
- <em>Kc is a constant for a specific reaction at a specific temperature</em>. If you change the reaction temperature, then Kc also changes
- Pure solids and liquids, including solvents, are not considered for equilibrium expression.
- The reaction must be balanced with the written coefficients as the minimum possible integer value in order to obtain the correct value of Kc
