The correct factors among the given alternatives on which the value of equilibrium constant depends are to be stated. Concept introduction: Chemical equilibrium is a state of a system in which the rate of the forward reaction and that of the backward reaction is equal. It is affected by various factors such as concentration of reactants or products, temperature and pressure. To determine: If the value of K depends upon initial concentration of reactants. The value of K does not depend upon initial concentration of reactants.

Solution Summary: The author states the correct factors among the given alternatives on which the value of equilibrium constant depends.
Definition Definition State where the components involved in a reversible reaction, namely reactants and product, do not change concentration any further with time. Chemical equilibrium results when the rate of the forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
