    A schematic plot of In \[{{K}_{eq}}\] versus inverse of temperature for a reaction is shown below The reaction must be

    A)  highly spontaneous at ordinary temperature

    B)  one with negligible enthalpy change

    C)  endothermic

    D)  exothermic

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Variation of \[{{K}_{eq}}\] with temperature T is given by vant -Hoff equation. \[\log {{K}_{eq}}=-\frac{\Delta {{H}^{o}}}{2.303RT}+\frac{\Delta {{S}^{o}}}{R}\] Slope of the given line is positive indicating that term A is positive thus \[\Delta {{H}^{o}}\] is negative. Thus, reaction is exothermic.
