  1. A Equilibrium constant may increase or decrease but rate constant always increases with temperature
  2. B Both equilibrium constant and rate constant increase with temperature
  3. C Rate constant may increase or decrease but equilibrium constant always increases with temperature
  4. D Both equilibrium constant and rate constant decrease with temperature
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Equilibrium constant may increase or decrease but rate constant always increases with temperature

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Hint : According to Van't Hoff equation \(\log \left(\frac{k_2}{k_1}\right)=\frac{\Delta H}{2.303 R}\left[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right]\) Where \(\mathrm{k}_1\) and \(\mathrm{k}_2\) are Equilibrium Constants at \(\mathrm{T}_1\) and \(\mathrm{T}_2\) temperature respectively.…
