Question
True or false: High temperatures are favorable to a reaction both kinetically and thermodynamically. Explain.
Step 1
This is a kinetic effect. According to the Arrhenius equation, the rate of a reaction increases with increasing temperature. Therefore, the statement "high temperatures are favorable to a reaction kinetically" is true. Show more…

In an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favors the formation of products. True or False?
True or false: When the temperature of an exothermic reaction increases, the rate constant of the forward reaction decreases, which leads to a decrease in the equilibrium constant, $K_{c} .$
True or false? If reaction $X$ is more exothermic than reaction $Y$, reaction $X$ must be faster than reaction Y. Whatever your answer, back it up with reaction-energy profiles.
