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:

  • A
    $[A]$ With increase in temperature,the value of $K$ for exothermic reaction decreases because entropy change of the system is positive
  • B
    $[B]$ With increase in temperature,the value of $K$ for endothermic reaction increases because unfavourable change in entropy of the surroundings decreases
  • C
    $[C]$ With increase in temperature,the value of $K$ for endothermic reaction increases because the entropy change of the system is negative
  • D
    $[D]$ With increase in temperature,the value of $K$ for exothermic reaction decreases because favourable change in entropy of the surrounding decreases
