MolSynapse / Question bank / Chemical Equilibrium / Le Chatelier's principle: effect of concentration, pressure, temperature, inert gas

NEET levelSingle correct optionDifficulty 1 of 3ce174

For an endothermic reaction at equilibrium, the temperature is increased. The value of the equilibrium constant

Aremains the same
Bfirst decreases and then increases
Cdecreases
Dincreases

Answer: D

Raising the temperature favours the endothermic (forward) direction, so products increase and

K

increases (van't Hoff equation:

ln K

rises with

T

when

Δ H > 0

).
