For the exothermic reaction A + B ⇌ C + heat, what will happen if the temperature is increased? (2020)
Equilibrium will shift to the right
Equilibrium will shift to the left
No change in equilibrium
Equilibrium will shift to the center
For an exothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, favoring the reactants, as the system tries to absorb the added heat.
