Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium. H2 + I2 + heat 2HI What will happen to the chemical equilibrium if the temperature of the system is increased?
Answer
A
The direction of the chemical equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the forward reaction.
B
The chemical equilibrium will not be affected by an increase in temperature.
C
The direction of the chemical equilibrium will shift to the left, favoring the reverse reaction.
D
The chemical equilibrium will be lost permanently with a change of temperature.
