Question

If the temperature of the system of equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction which ____________heat.

• A. absorbs
• B. releases
• C. radiates
• D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A absorbs

If a chemical system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume or pressure then, the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change and a new equilibrium is established.
Therefore, If the temperature of the system of equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction which absorbs heat. It is a direct implication of the Le Chatelier's principle (effect of pressure and temperature).
