Question

The equilibrium-constant expression depends on the ________ of the reaction. Group of answer choices temperature stoichiometry mechanism the quantities of reactants and products initially present stoichiometry and mechanism

Answer 1

Answer:

temperature and mechanism

Explanation:

Arrhenius equation gives us the idea about the factors affecting equilibrium constant.It is given as:

$k=Ae^{\frac{-E_{a} }{RT} }$

where k=equilibrium constant

          A=pre-exponential factor

          $E_{a}$=Activation energy

          T=temperature

          R=Universal gas constant

It is clear that k depends only on temperature and activation energy.

Activation energy of a reaction is different for different mechanisms or pathways.Hence k depends on both temperature and mechanism.
