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'.
