Solution

The correct option is B
we know, Go=RT lnK
(K= equilibrium constant) and
Go=HoTSo, so
RT lnK=HoTSo
or
lnK=HoRT+SoR -(eq.1)
The above equation relates equilibrium constant with temperature, on plotting (ln K) versus (1T) slope m is m=HoRT
for endothermic reaction Ho=+ive slope is negative, hence option (b) is correct

Note: When we differentiate the (eq.1) equation with respect to T, we get van't Hoff equation:
d lnKdT=HoRT2
