Answer:
See explanation.
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, for the chemical reaction:
[tex]H_2O(g) CO(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g) H_2(g)[/tex]
It is widely known that the the only factor altering the equilibrium constant is the temperature because of its thermodynamic definition:
[tex]K=exp(-\frac{\Delta G(T)}{RT} )[/tex]
Which is temperature dependent on the denominator and on the Gibbs free energy of reaction. In such a way, the answers can be just f and g, as the other factors modify Q (reaction quotient) rather than K. Thus, we can discuss about f and g:
f. This would increase K if the Gibbs free energy of reaction is positive (nonspontaneous).
g. This would increase K if the Gibbs free energy of reaction is negative (spontaneous).
It is important to discuss those two because the Gibbs free energy is not given.
Regards!
