2H2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2H2O(g) ΔH = -ve
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
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
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
