Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2023

 

What happens to the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc) for a reaction if the reaction is reversed?

A

It becomes zero

B

It becomes negative

C

It remains the same

D

It becomes the reciprocal of the original value

Correct Option: D

When a reaction is reversed, the equilibrium constant (Kc) becomes the reciprocal of the original value.

If the original equilibrium constant for a reaction is K, then for the reversed reaction, the new equilibrium constant (K') is equal to 1/K.
