JAMB Chemistry 2011 Objective — Question 16

Question 16 of 49 from the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) Chemistry 2011 Objective paper, with the correct answer and a full explanation.

N2O4(g) ⇌ 2NO2(g); ΔH=+ve. In the reaction above, an increase in temperature will

A. A. shift the equilibrium to the left
B. B. increase the value of the equilibrium constantCorrect
C. C. decrease the value of the equilibrium constant
D. D. increase the reactant production

Explanation

Since the forward reaction is endothermic (ΔH=+ve), an increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right and increase the value of the equilibrium constant.
