Statement 1: For an endothermic reaction, K_P increases when the temperature is increased.
Statement 2: K_P = K_C(RT)^{Δ ng}.

Question

Statement 1: For an endothermic reaction, K P increases when the temperature is increased. Statement 2: K P = K C (RT) Δ ng .

TestHub · Accepted Answer

The van't Hoff equation gives ln(K 2 /K 1 ) = (Δ H/R)[(T 2 - T 1 )/(T 1 T 2 )] For Δ H > 0 and T 2 > T 1 the right side is positive, so K P increases and Statement 1 is correct K P = K C (RT) Δ ng is a correct relation between the two constants It does not say why heating an endothermic reaction raises K, so Statement 2 is not the explanation Both are correct but II is not the explanation, option (b).
