Which of the followings will'change the equilibrium constant of the reaction \(CO _{( g )}+ H _{2} O _{(9)} \rightarrow CO _{2(g)}+ H _{2( g )}\) ?
A. Increase in temperature B. Increase in concentration of \(CO\) C. removal of \(CO _{2}\) from the mixture D. decrease of pressure
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Changes in temperature, pressure and concentration will affect the position of equilibrium for the appropriate systems. But note that this doesn't amount to a change in equilibrium constant value. Only temperature changes affect equilibrium constant value
