Q10 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2017 (Paper 2) · Chemistry
For a reaction taking place in a container in equilibrium with its surroundings, the effect of temperature on its equilibrium constant in terms of change in entropy is described by:
- Awith increase in temperature, the value of for exothermic reaction decreases because the entropy change of the system is positive.
- Correct answerBwith increase in temperature, the value of for endothermic reaction increases because unfavourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases.
- Correct answerCwith increase in temperature, the value of for exothermic reaction decreases because favourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases.
- Dwith increase in temperature, the value of for endothermic reaction increases because the entropy change of the system is negative.
Solution
If , on increasing temperature, also increase, so (Surrounding is unfavourable).
If , on increasing temperature , decreases, so (Surrounding is favourable).
Hence, the correct answer is options: 'B', 'C'.
