C. Neutral
D. More information is needed to answer this question.
2. When the temperature is increased the equilibrium constant, K:
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains the same
D. More information is needed to answer this question.
3. When the temperature is increased the equilibrium concentration of Co2+:
A. Increases
B. Decreases
C. Remains the same
D. More information is needed to answer this question.
