MCQ
At constant temperature, the equilibrium constant $(K_p)$ for the decomposition reaction ${N_2}{O_4}$ $\rightleftharpoons$ $2N{O_2}$ is expressed by ${K_P} = \frac{{(4{x^2}P)}}{{(1 - {x^2})}}$, where $P = $ pressure, $x = $ extent of decomposition. Which one of the following statements is true
  • A
    $K_p$ increases with increase of $P$
  • B
    $K_p$ increases with increase of $x$
  • C
    $K_p$ increases with decrease of $x$
  • $K_p$ remains constant with change in $P$ and $x$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$K_p$ remains constant with change in $P$ and $x$
(d)  ${K_p}$ (equilibrium constant) is independent of pressure and concentration.
