what happens to the equilibrium constant of the reaction above if the temperature is increased?
what happens to the equilibrium constant of the reaction above if the temperature is increased?
it is unaffected
it becomes zero
it decrease
it increase
Açıklama
This given equation shows the forward reaction is exothermic, which means an increase in temperature will cause the equilibrium position to shift to left to favor reactant formation, i.e K decreases
