Reversible and Irreversible reactions

Question

For a reversible reaction temperature is increased, the incorrect statement is

Moderate

A

$K_{f}$ always increases
B

$K_{b}$ always increases
C

$K_{e q}$ always decreases
D

$K_{e q}$ may increase (or) decrease

Solution

$K_{f} =$ rate constant of forward reaction
$K_{b} =$ rate constant of backward reaction
$K_{e q} =$ Equilibrium constant
As temperature increases, both $K_{f}$ and $K_{b}$ increases $K_{e q} = \frac{K_{f}}{K_{b}}$
Depending on the magnitude of increase in $K_{f}$ and $K_{b}$
$K_{e q}$ may increase (or) decrease
