  4. Reaction rate decreases

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a reaction where heat is absorbed (endothermic), what happens if the temperature is decreased?
  • Step 1: Understand that an endothermic reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings.
  • Step 2: Recognize that the reaction has two parts: reactants and products.
  • Step 3: Know that when the temperature decreases, the system feels like it is losing heat.
  • Step 4: To counteract the loss of heat, the system shifts the reaction to produce more heat.
  • Step 5: This shift means the reaction will favor the reactants, moving the equilibrium to the left.
