Question on: JAMB Chemistry - 2019
Consider the reaction: A + 2B\(_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons \) 2C + D\(_{(g)}\) (\(\Delta\)H = +ve)
What will be the effect of decrease in temperature on the reaction?
A
Rate of backward reaction will increase
B
The equilibrium constant will shift
C
Rates of forward and backward reactions are not affected
D
Rate of forward reaction will increase
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
The given reaction is endothermic, as a result of that, a decrease in temperature will favour the exothermic side which is the backward reaction.
