equilibrium constants (Kp values) as a function of temperature are

 

300 °C 4.34E-3

500 °C 2.25E-6

ln(?2?1)=−∆??(1?2−1?1)

a) Is the reaction exothermic or endothermic?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

b) Using equilibrium principles explain what would happen to K if the reaction was opposite of what you found in the first part and the temperature decreased
