Temperature is raised in a equilibrium

Chemistry

ScanSolve AI Answer

Answer

When the temperature of an equilibrium system is raised, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that absorbs heat (the endothermic direction) to counteract the temperature increase.

  • If the forward reaction is endothermic (ΔH>0\Delta H > 0), raising the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right (towards products).
  • If the forward reaction is exothermic (ΔH<0\Delta H < 0), raising the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left (towards reactants).
