← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a reaction vessel cooling impacts equilibrium?
A)Increased exothermic product concentrations✓
B)Decreased overall reaction rate
C)Shift towards endothermic reactants
D)Catalyst activity is permanently inhibited
💡 Explanation
Decreasing temperature favors exothermic reactions because Le Chatelier's principle shifts equilibrium to counteract the change, thus increasing exothermic product concentrations. Therefore, this favors exothermic products rather than endothermic ones, assuming equilibrium adjustment dominates any kinetic slowdown.
