For the reversible one step reaction A A B C and the rate

For the reversible one step reaction A A B C and the rate constant for the reverse reaction k is the rate constant for the forward reaction k is 281 L mol min 387 L mol min at a given temperature The activation energy for the forward reaction is 41 2 kJ mol whereas the activation energy for the reverse reaction is 23 4 kJ mol Determine the equilibrium constant K of this reaction K Determine whether this reaction is endothermic or exothermic endothermic O exothermic What effect will raising the temperature of the reaction have on the rate constants and the equilibrium constant Raising the temperature will increase the forward rate constant k more than it will increase the reverse rate constant k 1 resulting in an increase in the equilibrium constant K O Raising the temperature will increase the reverse rate constant k1 more than it will increase the forward rate constant k resulting in a decrease in the equilibrium constant K Raising the temperature will not affect either rate constant or the equilibrium constant K Raising the temperature will increase the forward rate constant k and reverse rate constant k1 equally leaving the equilibrium constant K unchanged
