Assume that the following chemical reaction is at equilibrium under 25 oC. 2 ClO (g) + Cl2 (g) = 2 Cl2O (g) ∆H° = - 41.8 kJ If the temperature is decreased to 0 °C, which of the following statements is correct about the value of the equilibrium constant Kp of the reaction? Choose one option only. Options: a. Kp will increase and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction (shift to right). b. Kp will decrease and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction (shift to right) c. Kp will decrease and the reaction will proceed in the backward direction (shift to left). d. Kp will remain unchanged and the reaction will proceed in the forward direction (shift to right). e. Kp will increase and the reaction will proceed in the backward direction (shift to left).
