The following reaction is at equilibrium in a sealed contain

The following reaction is at equilibrium in a sealed container. C(s) + CO2(g) -----> 2 CO(g) H°rxn > 0 If the temperature of the reaction mixture increases, the reaction shift to _______, and the equilibrium constant Kc ______.

Solution

The reaction is endothermic reaction. Therefore, as the temperature of the reaction mixture increases, the forward reaction is favorable. The reaction shift is towards right side and the equilibrium constant Kc increases.
