Which of the following lines correctly show the temperature dependence of equilibrium constant K, for an exothermic reaction?
Options
- AA and D
- BA and B
- CB and C
- DC and D
Correct answer
B. A and B
Step-by-step solution
Δ G o = - R T ln K Δ H o - T Δ S o = - R T ln K − ΔH o RT + ΔS o R = ln K Therefore ln K vs 1 T graph will be a straight line with slope equal to - Δ H o R . Since reaction is exothermic, therefore Δ H o itself will be negative resulting in positive slope.
