Question

According to the integrated form of the Van 't Hoff equation, $\log_{10}\left(\frac{K_2}{K_1}\right) = \frac{\Delta H^\circ}{2.303 R} \left(\frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2}\right)$. Which of the following conclusions can be definitively drawn from this equation if $T_2 > T_1$?

Correct answer: A,B,C. For an endothermic reaction, the RHS is positive, so . For an exothermic reaction, the RHS is negative, so . If , the RHS is , so . Option D is false because exothermic reactions shift backward (become less forward dominant) as T increases.
