Question
When the temperature is decreased on the following system at equilibrium: I believe the answer is "In order to restore equilibrium, the reaction shift towards the reactants" because the decrease in temp reduces the reaction rate and therefore the equilibrium has to shift to the left. Is that the correct idea here?
2 HCl(aq) + Zn(s) <-> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g) + heat
The reaction will not shift at all because equilibrium is independent of reaction rate
In order to restore equilibrium, the reaction shift towards the products
The reaction will not shift at all because equilibrium is independent of temperature
In order to restore equilibrium, the reaction shift towards the reactants
Explanation / Answer
when the temperature is decreased the rate of reaction for the exothermic rxn like above will move towards forward direction(products)
