Introduction to Le Chatelier's Principle

AP Chemistry· difficulty 3/5

K decreases as T increases for some reaction.

T (K) K

What is the sign of dH for this reaction?

  • A

    Cannot determine

  • B

    dH > 0 (endothermic)

  • C

    dH = 0

  • D

    dH < 0 (exothermic)

Explanation

For exothermic reactions, raising T shifts equilibrium toward reactants, decreasing K. The plot is consistent with dH < 0.
