By increasing the temperature by 10°C, the rate of forward reaction at equilibrium is increased by a factor of 2. The rate of backward reaction by this increase in temperature

Question

By increasing the temperature by 10°C, the rate of forward reaction at equilibrium is increased by a factor of 2. The rate of backward reaction by this increase in temperature (A) remains unaffected (B) increases by a factor greater than two (C) decreases by a factor lesser than two (D) also increases by a factor of two.

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Increase in temperature increases the rate of both forward and backward reactions by equal factor to bring the equilibrium faster.

remains unaffected

increases by a factor greater than two

decreases by a factor lesser than two

also increases by a factor of two.

Increase in temperature increases the rate of both forward and backward reactions by equal factor to bring the equilibrium faster.

Q. By increasing the temperature by $10° C,$ the rate of forward reaction at equilibrium is increased by a factor of $2.$ The rate of backward reaction by this increase in temperature
