In this question, all pressures are measured in atm. The equation represents the equilibrium between three gaseous substances X, Y and Z. X + 3Y ⇋ 2Z At temperature T₁, the numerical value of Kp, the equilibrium constant, is 2. At a higher temperature T2, the partial pressures at equilibrium are as shown. Which row is correct?

Athe numerical value of Kp at T2: 54/25, the forward reaction is: endothermic
Bthe numerical value of Kp at T2: 54/25, the forward reaction is: exothermic
Cthe numerical value of Kp at T2: 25/54, the forward reaction is: endothermic
Dthe numerical value of Kp at T2: 25/54, the forward reaction is: exothermic

✓ Correct answer

D: the numerical value of Kp at T2: 25/54, the forward reaction is: exothermic
