In an exothermic reaction, a 10oC rise in temperature will

A.decrease the value of equilibrium constant✓ Correct

B.double the value of Kc

C.not produce any change in Kc

D.produce some increase in Kc.

Explanation

If the reaction is an exothermic reaction and we increase the temperature by 0 10 C then the value of the equilibrium constant will decrease. As during a reaction when the heat is liberated and if we increase the temperature the equilibrium will shift to the left side. Hence, the correct answer is option (a)
