E)K always remains constant

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equilibrium constant, K, is a thermodynamic property that depends only on the temperature of the reaction. It is independent of the concentrations of the reactants and products, and also independent of the partial pressures of the reactants (assuming ideal gas behavior). However, if the temperature of the reaction changes, then the value of K will also change according to the relationship between K and the standard free energy change, ΔG°.
