Which outcome occurs in a closed chemical reactor at equilibrium when temperature rapidly increases?

💡 Explanation

When temperature increases, the equilibrium shifts according to Le Chatelier's principle because higher temperatures favor reactions that absorb heat. This causes the rate of the endothermic reaction to increase more than the exothermic reaction rate. Therefore endothermic reaction acceleration results, rather than exothermic due to equilibrium conditions.
