Which of the following equilibrium is favored by a temperature increase?A. C (graphite) `hArr` C (diamond)B. `H_2(g)+1/2O_2(g) hArr H_2O(g)`C. `2O_3 hArr 3O_2`D. `2SO_2+O_2 hArr 2SO_3`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
The value of any equilibrium constant changes as the temperature changes. The `K_(aq)` values of exothermic reactions decreas with increasing T, and the `K_(aq)` values of enthermic reactions increase with increasing T. The conversion ofgraphite (more stable) to diamond (less stable) is an endothermic equilibrium while all others are exothermic equilibria. Note that the decomposition of ozone is an exothermic equilibrium.
