When the temperature ___i_ in a system in which the forward reaction is __ii__ , equilibrium shifts toward __iii_ formation.
The statement given above is completed by the information given in the row:
Row i ii iii
A increases endothermic product
B increases exothermic product
C increases endothermic reactant
D decreases endothermic product
E decreases exothermic reactant
1) A
2) B
3) C
4) D
5) E
The correct completion for the statement is:
Row i ii iii
D decreases endothermic product
are you sure?
I apologize for the mistake. The correct completion for the statement is:
Row i ii iii
C increases endothermic reactant
What is the correct answer?
I apologize for the confusion. After reviewing the statement again, the correct completion would be:
Row i ii iii
A increases endothermic product
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the relationship between temperature and the forward reaction in an endothermic or exothermic reaction.
In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, which means that the reactants have less energy compared to the products. As a result, increasing the temperature will help to provide the necessary energy for the reactants to transform into products. Conversely, decreasing the temperature will result in less energy being available for the reaction to proceed.
In an exothermic reaction, heat is released to the surroundings, meaning that the reactants have more energy than the products. In this case, increasing the temperature will lead to an increase in the already energetic reactants, making it more difficult for the reaction to occur. On the other hand, lowering the temperature will reduce the energy of the reactants, favoring the formation of products.
Now let's refer back to the statement given:
"When the temperature ___i_ in a system in which the forward reaction is __ii__, equilibrium shifts toward __iii_ formation."
From this statement, we can analyze the information provided in the row given:
Row i: "increases"
Row ii: "endothermic"
Row iii: "product"
Based on the explanations above, we know that increasing the temperature favors endothermic reactions by providing more energy to reactants. Furthermore, when the temperature increases, the equilibrium shifts towards the product formation in an endothermic reaction. Therefore, the correct answer is:
1) A
