Question

At 125 C, K p = 5.2*10^{- 9} and at 500 C, K p = 0.10 for the reaction: 2 Cl₂ (g) + 2 H₂ O (g) 4 HCl (g) + O₂(g) Choose the correct statement.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The value of Kp decreases as the temperature increases, indicating that the reaction favors the reactants at higher temperatures. This implies that the reaction is endothermic, as it requires heat to proceed in the forward direction.

At 125 C, K P = 5
