With decrease in temperature, the equilibrium conversion of a reversible endothermic reaction_________________?

Correct answer: A. Decreases

  • A. Decreases
  • B. Increases
  • C. Remain unaffected
  • D. Increases linearly with temperature

Explanation

An endothermic reaction absorbs heat, so lowering the temperature shifts equilibrium toward the reactants according to Le Chatelier’s principle. The equilibrium conversion to products therefore decreases.
