Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a reaction at equilibrium, if the temperature is increased for an exothermic reaction, what will happen? (2022)
  • Step 1: Understand what an exothermic reaction is. It is a reaction that releases heat.
  • Step 2: Know that in a chemical reaction at equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate.
  • Step 3: Recognize that increasing the temperature adds heat to the system.
  • Step 4: Apply Le Chatelier's Principle, which states that if a system at equilibrium is disturbed, it will shift to counteract the disturbance.
  • Step 5: Since the reaction is exothermic, adding heat will shift the equilibrium to the left, favoring the reactants.
