Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the equilibrium position of a reaction when the temperature is increased for an endothermic reaction?
  • Step 1: Understand what an endothermic reaction is. It is a reaction that absorbs heat from its surroundings.
  • Step 2: Know that in a chemical reaction, there is a balance between reactants and products called equilibrium.
  • Step 3: Recognize that temperature can affect this balance. Increasing temperature adds heat to the system.
  • Step 4: For an endothermic reaction, adding heat helps the reaction proceed towards the products because it needs heat to occur.
  • Step 5: Therefore, when the temperature is increased, the equilibrium position shifts to the right, meaning more products are formed.
