For a reaction taking place in a container in equilibrium with its surroundings, the effect of temperature on its equilibrium constant in terms of change in entropy is described by:
with increase in temperature, the value of for exothermic reaction decreases because the entropy change of the system is positive.
with increase in temperature, the value of for endothermic reaction increases because unfavourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases.
with increase in temperature, the value of for exothermic reaction decreases because favourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases.
with increase in temperature, the value of for endothermic reaction increases because the entropy change of the system is negative.
Solution:
If , on increasing temperature, also increase, so (Surrounding is unfavourable).
If , on increasing temperature , decreases, so (Surrounding is favourable).
