A. Shifts the equilibrium to the left
B. Shifts the equilibrium to the right
C. No effect
D. Increases the rate of the reaction
Answer: Shifts the equilibrium to the right
In an exothermic reaction at equilibrium, what effect does decreasing the temperature have?
Additional Information: Decreasing temperature favors the exothermic direction, thus shifting the equilibrium to the right towards products.
