Increasing the temperature of an endothermic reaction at equilibrium will:
A.Shift equilibrium toward reactants
B.Shift equilibrium toward products
C.Have no effect on equilibrium
D.Decrease the equilibrium constant
Explanation
Core Concept
For an endothermic reaction (ΔH > 0), increasing temperature adds heat as a "reactant." By Le Chatelier's principle, the system shifts toward products to absorb the added heat.
Correct Answer
BShift equilibrium toward products
