NEET Chemistry Chemical Equilibrium Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The equilibrium constant of a reaction decreases with an increase in temperature if the reaction is exothermic. | Reason (R): An increase in temperature shifts the equilibrium position of an exothermic reaction towards the reactants.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The equilibrium constant is temperature dependent and decreases for exothermic reactions when temperature increases, as the equilibrium shifts towards reactants, aligning with Le Chatelier's principle.
