QUESTION:

Problem 20E

What is the effect of a temperature change on a chemical reaction initially at equilibrium? How does the effect differ for an exothermic reaction compared to an endothermic one?

ANSWER:

SolutionStep 1According to the Le Chatelier's principle, if the temperature of a system at equilibrium ischanged, the system should shift in a direction to counter that change. So. if the temperature isincreases, the reaction should shift in the direction that tends to decrease the temperature andvice versa.
