If the temperature of an exothermic reaction at equilibrium is increased, what will be the effect on the equilibrium position?

If the temperature of an exothermic reaction at equilibrium is increased, what will be the effect on the equilibrium position?

Step 1: Understand that an exothermic reaction releases heat.
Step 2: Recognize that at equilibrium, the reaction can go in both directions: forward (producing products) and backward (producing reactants).
Step 3: Know that increasing the temperature adds heat to the system.
Step 4: Realize that the system will try to counteract this added heat by shifting the equilibrium position.
Step 5: For an exothermic reaction, the system will shift to the left (toward the reactants) to absorb the extra heat.
