A(s)+B(g)-> 3C(g)
K = [C]^3/

Would a change in pressure or volume change K?
I think it does, but destroyer says otherwise.


My reasoning:
If you increase volume, more C is formed, which would change K according to that equation.

Thanks for the help.

If Im not mistaking, only temperature can change K

Change in pressure or volume will shift the reaction to the left or right, but K will be the same. The whole point is the reaction will return to equilibrium and at equilibrium you have 1 K valume. But different temperatures have different K values. So only temperature affects k.
