Chapter 13, Problem 13.110CHP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

With the help of equilibrium constant and rate constant of forward and reverse reaction, the reason for decrease in equilibrium constant with increase in temperature has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Arrhenius equation:

$\text{k}\text{=}{\text{Ae}}^{\frac{{\text{-E}}_{\text{a}}}{\text{RT}}}$

Where,

k is rate constant.

T is absolute temperature (kelvin)

A is pre-exponential factor.

R is gas constant

${\text{E}}_{\text{a}}$ is activation energy
