Assertion : The equilibrium constant is fixed and a characteristic for any given chemical reaction at a specified temperature.
Reason : The composition of the final equilibrium mixture at a particular temperature depends upon the starting amount of reactants.
both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
assertion is true but reason is false.
both assertion and reason are false.
Solution
The equilibrium constant is always fixed and is a characteristic of a reaction at specified temperature. It defines the composition of the final equilibrium mixture of that reaction, regardless of the starting amount of reactants and products.
