Reactant formation in an endothermic reaction would be favored by which of the following?
Correct answer: A. Increase in temperature
- A. Increase in temperature
- B. Decrease in temperature
- C. No change in temperature
- D. First increase and then decrease in temperature
Explanation
Increasing the temperature of the system provides more heat energy to the reaction, which helps drive the reaction toward the reactant side.

About Le Chatelier's Principle
Le Chatelier's principle predicts how an equilibrium responds when concentration, pressure or temperature changes. Questions apply it to reversible reactions, identify the direction of shift and distinguish genuine equilibrium changes from the effect of a catalyst, which changes the rate of reaching equilibrium but not its position.
