    In an exothermic reaction at\[{{10}^{o}}C\]rise in temperature will:

    A)  decrease the value of equilibrium constant

    B)  double the value of\[{{K}_{c}}\]

    C)  do not produce any change in\[{{K}_{c}}\]

    D)  produce some change in\[{{K}_{c}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Equilibrium constant for a reversible reaction is given as: \[{{K}_{c}}=\frac{{{k}_{f}}}{{{k}_{b}}}\] In the exothermic reaction, the backward reaction increases more rapidly with increasing temperature than the forward reaction. Therefore, the value of equilibrium constant is reduced.
