Question

URGENT!!!

What happens to the balance of a reversible reaction at equilibrium when temperature is increased?

The balance of the reaction shifts toward the side with more particles.

The balance of the reaction shifts toward the side with fewer particles.

The balance of the reaction shifts toward the endothermic reaction.

The balance of the reaction shifts toward the exothermic reaction.

Answer 1

Answer: The balance of the reaction shifts toward the endothermic reaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

An ENDOTHERMIC REACTION requires input of HEAT ENERGY to drive it FORWARD from reactants, unto completion of products.

So, on increasing the temperature (available heat) the REVERSIBLE REACTION favors the shifts towards the endothermic reaction
