Consider the chemical reaction in equilibrium. cap h sub 2 plus cap i sub 2 plus heat if and only if 2 HI 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 left, favoring the reverse reaction.
B
The chemical equilibrium will be lost permanently with a change of temperature.
C
The chemical equilibrium will not be affected by an increase in temperature.
D
The direction of the chemical equilibrium will shift to the right, favoring the forward reaction.
