Maximum equilibrium conversion for endothermic reaction is obtained at the ______________ temperature?
Correct answer: D. Highest possible
- A. Room
- B. Lowest possible
- C. Intermediate
- D. Highest possible
Explanation
An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, so increasing temperature increases its equilibrium constant and generally raises the equilibrium conversion. Therefore, the highest feasible temperature gives the maximum equilibrium conversion.
