Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a reaction where heat is absorbed (endothermic), what happens when the temperature is decreased?
  • Step 1: Understand that an endothermic reaction absorbs heat from its surroundings.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when the temperature decreases, the system feels like it has lost heat.
  • Step 3: Realize that to counteract this loss of heat, the reaction will shift to produce more heat.
  • Step 4: Since the reaction absorbs heat, producing more reactants will release heat.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the equilibrium shifts to the left, favoring the formation of reactants.
