For an exothermic reaction, what happens to the equilibrium constant if temperature is increased.

Answer»

\(\because\) K = \(\frac{K_f}{K_b}\)

In exothermic reaction, with the increase in temperature, equilibrium constant for backward reaction (Kb) increases much more than Kf. Thus, equilibrium constant (K) decreases with increase in temperature for an exothermic reaction.
