The equilibrium constant, K for the reaction `:` `2HI (g) hArr H_(2)(g)+I_(2)(g)` at room temperature is 2.85 and that of 698 K is `1.4 xx 10^(-2)` . This implies that the forward reaction isA. ExothermicB. EndothermicC. ExergonicD. Unpredictable

Answer» Correct Answer - A
On increasing temperature, the value of equilibrium constant decreases indicating backward shift. Since increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium towards endothermic side. Therefore, forward reaction is exothermic.
