Which outcome occurs when a sealed chemical reactor, containing reactants and products at equilibrium, experiences localized overheating?

💡 Explanation

Equilibrium shifts via Le Chatelier's principle, because heat is a stressor. Higher temperatures favor the endothermic direction; therefore reactants are initially favored, rather than products, and the reaction does not stall.
