Here is the question:
Is it true that the value of K depends on the amounts of reactants and/or products that are mixed together initially? Explain.
This is my explanation:
The reaction always shifts left or right given any initial reactant and product amounts to attain equilibrium. Thus, the ratio of the equilibrium concentrations (or partial pressures), which is represented by the value of K, is also not affected by the initial reactant and product amounts. The statement is false.
I need help on writing clear and concise explanations. Could anyone correct my solution or recommend a better answer? Are there any strategies for writing clearly and concisely? Thank you!
