What effect does increasing the temperature have on an exothermic reaction at equilibrium?

A. Shifts the equilibrium to the right
B. Shifts the equilibrium to the left
C. Has no effect
D. Increases the rate of reaction

Answer: Shifts the equilibrium to the left

Additional Information: For an exothermic reaction, increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium to the left, favoring the reactants.
