For exothermic reactions, which condition is applicable for equilibrium constant K?(a) K decreases with increasing temperature(b) K decreases with decreasing temperature(c) Positive ΔH°rxn with increasing temperature; K increases(d) Negative ΔH°rxn with increasing temperature; K increasesThe question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.I'd like to ask this question from Basic Reaction Theory topic in division Homogenous Reactions of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

Correct option is (a) K DECREASES with INCREASING temperature

For explanation I would say: For EXOTHERMIC reactions with negative ΔH°rxn, K decreases with increasing temperature. For endothermic reactions and POSITIVE ΔH°rxn , K increases with temperature.
