Question

According to Le-chatelier's principle, adding heat to a solid $\rightleftharpoons$ liquid equilibrium will cause the:

• A. temperature to increase
• B. temperature to decrease
• C. amount of liquid to decrease
• D. amount of solid to decrease

Answer 1

The correct option is D amount of solid to decrease

As this reaction is endothermic, when temperature is raised, more liquid is formed. Hence adding heat will shift the equilibrium in the forward direction and amount of solid to decreases.
