Which of the following will increase the value of the equilibriumconstant for the following reaction?
CaCO3(s) ? CaO(s) CO2(g) ?H = 178kJ
I know temperature is the only variable that can change theequilibrium constant. However, the correct answer keeps showing asincreasing the temperature.
This reaction, however, is endothermic, which means the heat istheoretically a reactant.
It seems intuitive, then, to assume that increasing temperaturemeans decreasing the value of the equilibrium constant. Am I wrong?How can increasing the temperature in an endothermic reactionpossible increase the value of the equilibrium constant?
