Consider the reaction A ⇌ B which is endothermic in the forward direction. Which of the following increase(s) when the temperature increases. (You may select more than one answer.) (a) Earev (b) Eafor (c) the forward rate (d) the reverse rate (e) the equilibrium constant
(a),(b)Ea of a reaction is always constant for a particular reaction so (a) and (b) are false
(c)true forward rate increases
le-chatlier's principle which says that a reaction tries to reduce
effect when an external condition is applied
here the forward reaction is endothermic and hence increase in
temperature reduces the endothermic effect
(d)
If forward reaction is endothermic , reverse reaction must be
exothermic and hence rate of reverse reaction decreses (d)
false
(e)
the equilibrium constant is fuction of temperature and increases
with increase with temperature
(e)true
