Fractional conversion _________________ for an exothermic reversible chemical reaction, when the temperature is maximum?
Correct answer: C. Decreases
- A. Increases
- B. Remains unchanged
- C. Decreases
- D. Unpredictable from the data
Explanation
For an exothermic reversible reaction, increasing temperature shifts equilibrium toward the reactants, so the equilibrium conversion falls. This is why the fractional conversion decreases at the maximum temperature.
