What is the effect of increasing temperature on an exothermic equilibrium reaction?

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

Answer: Shifts the equilibrium to the left

Additional Information: Increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction shifts the equilibrium to the left, favoring the reverse reaction.
