← ScienceWhich outcome results when increasing temperature increases entropy, thus affecting equilibrium constant values?
A)Shift favors endothermic reaction direction✓
B)Reaction velocities approach similar magnitudes
C)The activation energy barrier increases
D)Catalyst efficacy rapidly degrades overall
💡 Explanation
The equilibrium shifts to favor the direction that absorbs heat (endothermic) because the increased entropy at higher temperatures makes that direction more favorable due to enthalpy changes; therefore the forward or reverse reaction favored affects the constant, rather than velocities becoming equal.
