What happens when the temperature is lowered for an exothermic reaction at equilibrium?

A. Shifts equilibrium to the left
B. Shifts equilibrium to the right
C. No effect on equilibrium
D. Increases reaction rate

Answer: Shifts equilibrium to the right

Additional Information: Lowering the temperature favors the exothermic direction, shifting equilibrium to produce more products.
