Multiplying a reaction equation by 3 does what to K?
A.Raises K to the third power
B.Multiplies K by 3
C.Divides K by 3
D.Leaves K unchanged
Explanation
Core Concept
Tripling the coefficients cubes every exponent, so Kₙew = K³. This mirrors how ΔH triples — but K scales exponentially, not linearly.
Correct Answer
ARaises K to the third power
