When we double the quantities of reactants and products in a reaction, what happens to the value of the equilibrium constant?.



Answer :

When we double the quantities of reactants and products in a reaction,  the value of the equilibrium constant remains the same.

K = [P]/[R]

where,

[P]  is the concentration of the product.

[R] is the concentration of reactant.

If we double the quantities of reactants and products in the final concentration it'll become

[R]2=2×[R]1 and [P]2=2×[P]1

Now at initial stage

K1 =  [P1]/[R1]

at final stage after doubling the products

K2=[P2]/[R2]

Putting the given values

K2/K1 = 2×[P1]×[R1]/2×[R1]×[P1]

K2/K1=2/2

K2/K1=1

K2=K1

So, the value of equilibrium constant remains same.
