For a reversible reaction, if the concentration of the reactants is reduced to half, the equilibrium constant will be.........
  1. doubled
  2. halved
  3. reduced to one-fourth
  4. remains same

Solution

The value of equilibrium constant \(K_{\mathrm{eq}}\) is independent of initial concentrations of reactants and products. So, options (a), (b) and (c) are not correct, i.e. so, for a reversible reaction, if the concentration of the reactants is reduced to half, the equilibrium constant will be remains same.
