- 2√(2) times the original value
- (1)/(2) times the original value
- 2 times the original value
- \dfrac12√(2) times the original value
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Equilibrium constant: Kp = PB² PC³
Step 2: If PC is doubled: PC → 2PC
Step 3: To keep Kp constant: PB²(2PC)³=PB'²PC³ ⟹ PB' = 2√(2)PB
