Dear student,
Regards
The equilibrium constant depends on the following factors:
- Concentration of reactants and products
- If concentration of reactant is increased or concentration of product is decreaed at equilibrium, equilibrium constant shifts towards right, forward reaction is favoured, product formation increases
- Temperature
- At low temperature, exothermic reaction is favoured, equilibrium constant shifts towards that side.
- At high temperature, endothermic reaction is favoured, equilibrium constant shifts towards that side.
- Pressure
- At high pressure, equilibrium constant shifts that side where number of moles is lesser
- At low pressure, equilibrium constant shifts that side where number of moles is higher
- Presence of catalyst
- It does not affect equilibrium constant but helps to get the equilibrium in short time of interval.
