Question

(iv) If the enthalpy change in the forward direction (left to right) is-48 6 kJ/mol, increasing the temperature will move the equilibrium to produce more: k endo AH 0 reactants products neither

Answer 1

Answer: Towards reactants side.

Explanation:

Since dHo is negative, exothermic reaction.

On increasing the temperature equilibrium shifts in reverse direction, towards Reactants side by obeying the Le Chatlier's principle which states that if we change any parameters of system then equilibrium shifts in a direction to cancel that change.

Here forward reaction occurs at low temperatures hence reverse reaction occurs at high temperatures
