The effect of an increase in temperature on an endothermic reaction at equilibrium (ΔH > 0) is:

 

A

Shifts the equilibrium position to the left

 

B

Shifts the equilibrium position to the right

 

C

Does not affect the equilibrium position

 

D

Decreases the value of the equilibrium constant (Kc)

Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: B

For an endothermic reaction (ΔH > 0), increasing the temperature will favour the endothermic direction (the forward reaction). As a result, the equilibrium position will shift to the right, favouring the formation of products.
