NEETChemistryChemical Equilibrium
How does a change in temperature affect the composition of an equilibrium mixture?
Options
- AIt has no effect on the composition.
- BIt always increases the concentration of products.
- CIt always decreases the concentration of products.
- DIt depends on the sign of ∆H for the reaction.
Correct answer
D. It depends on the sign of ∆H for the reaction.
Step-by-step solution
The composition of an equilibrium mixture is affected by a change in temperature, and the direction of the effect depends on the sign of ∆H for the reaction.
