Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryChemical Kinetics
Consider an endothermic reaction A K _ b K ₁ ~B ~K _ f and K _ b are the forward and the backward rate constant at temperature T ₁ . The temperature is decreased from T₁ to T₂ and the rate constants are K_f^ and K_b^ for the forward and the backward reaction respectively at this temperature. Select the incorrect relation.
Options
- AK _ f K _ f ^ and K _ b K _ b ^
- BK _f^ K _ f K _ b ^ K _ b
- CK _ f - K _ f ^ K _ f K _ b - K _ b ^ K _ b
- DK _ f - K _ f ^ K _ f K _ b - K _ b ^ K _ b
Correct answer
D. K _ f - K _ f ^ K _ f K _ b - K _ b ^ K _ b
Step-by-step solution
As temperature decreases rate constant decreases. So, K _ f ^ K _ f and K _ b ^ K _ b . The rate constant with greater activation energy is more sensitive towards temperature So, % decrease in K _ f will be greater than % decrease in K _ b
