MCQ
Given the chemical equilibrium,$ A ⇌ B + C$, where $\triangle H_{rxn}$​ is negative, what effect increasing the temperature $($at constant pressure$)$ would have on the system at equilibrium?
  • A
    No change.
  • Shift to the left.
  • C
    Shift to the right.
  • D
    Shift to the left for $K<1$ and to the right for $K>1.$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Shift to the left.
$A \rightarrow B + C\ ; \triangle H < 0$
Here, forward reaction is exothermic. So, if temperature is increased then as per Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium shifts to left side $($backward direction$)$.
