For a given exothermic reaction, and are the equilibrium constants at temperatures and respectively. Assuming that heat of reaction is constant in temperatures range between and , it is readily observed that
To solve this problem, we need to understand the effect of temperature on the equilibrium constant for an exothermic reaction.For an exothermic reaction, the equilibrium constant decreases with an increase in temperature.This behavior is explained by Le Chatelier's principle, which states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in temperature,the system will adjust itself to counteract the effect of the change.
