if a thermodynamic equilibrium constant is only a function of temperature, why does it apparently change with solvent?

Sagot :

If a thermodynamic equilibrium constant is only a function of temperature,  it apparently change with solvent because  the nature of the solvent will affect the equilibrium constant.

The equilibrium constant of the reaction is the value of the ratio between the concentration of the reactant and the concentration of the product.

let us take an example :

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

equilibrium constant , K = [ C ]^c [D]^d / [A]^a [B]^b

The only thing ,equilibrium constant affect by is the temperature. the different solvent also affect the equilibrium constant because of the differential stabilization of the reactant and the product form.
