NEET 2014 Chemistry Effect of Temperature on Equilibrium MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

For a given exothermic reaction, Kₚ and Kₚ' are the equilibrium constants at temperatures T₁ and T₂, respectively. Assuming that heat of reaction is constant in temperature range between T₁ and T₂, it is readily observed that

A

Kₚ > Kₚ'

B

Kₚ < Kₚ'

C

Kₚ = Kₚ'

D

Kₚ = 1/Kₚ'

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

For an exothermic reaction, the equilibrium constant decreases with an increase in temperature, hence Kₚ > Kₚ'.
