For an endothermic reaction at equilibrium,increasing the temperature ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For an endothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium towards the products because the system absorbs heat. This is in accordance with Le Chatelier's principle, which states that if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change. In this case, adding heat drives the reaction to consume that heat, which means favoring the endothermic direction (forward reaction) to form more products.
