Temperature increase in an exothermic reversible reaction shifts the equilibrium to
Correct answer: B. Reactant side
- A. Product side
- B. Reactant side
- C. Remains unchanged
- D. Increase in both
Explanation
According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing temperature favors the endothermic direction, which is the reactant side.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
