Question

Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.  If false, change the wording of the statement to make it true.

 

a) The magnitude of the equilibrium constant is always independent of temperature.

b) When two chemical equations are added to give a net equation, the equilibrium constant for the net equation is the product of the equilibrium constants of the summed equations.

c) The equilibrium constant for a reaction has the same value as K for the reverse reaction. 

d) Only the concentration of CO2 appears in the equilibrium expression for the reaction:

CaCO3 (s) ↔ CaO (s) + CO2 (g).

e) For the reaction CaCO3 (s) ↔ CaO (s) + CO2 (g), the value of K is numerically the same whether the amount of CO2 is expressed as molarity or as gas pressure.
