Chapter 12, Problem 117QP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most important factor for predicting the effect of temperature change on the equilibrium of the reaction is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Equilibrium constant is affected by the change in temperature.

In endothermic reaction, with an increase in the temperature, the equilibrium shifts to the right side.

In exothermic reaction, the heat is released, so an increase in the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left side.
