For a reaction taking place in a container in equilibrium with its surroundings, the effect of temperature on its equilibrium constant K in terms of change in entropy is described by
  1. with increase in temperature, the value of K for endothermic reaction increases because unfavourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases
  2. with increase in temperature, the value of K for exothermic reaction decreases because favourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases
  3. with increase in temperature, the value of K for exothermic reaction decreases because the entropy change of the system is positive
  4. with increase in temperature, the value of K for endothermic reaction increases because the entropy change of the system is negative.

Answer

(A) with increase in temperature, the value of K for endothermic reaction increases because unfavourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases
