Statement-1: The overall rate of a reversible reaction may decrease with the increase in temperature.
Statement-2: When the activation energy of forward reaction is less than that of backward reaction,then the increase in the rate of backward reaction is more than that of forward reaction on increasing the temperature.
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is not the correct explanation for statement-1.
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1.
Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is false
Statement-1 is false, statement-2 is true
The overall rate of a reversible reaction may decrease with the increase in temperature. When the activation energy of forward reaction is less than that of backward reaction, then the increase in the rate of backward reaction is more than that of forward reaction on increasing the temperature.
So, Statement-1 is true, statement-2 is true and statement-2 is correct explanation for statement-1.
Option 2 is correct.
