Which outcome occurs when an exothermic reaction reaches equilibrium in a closed, adiabatic container?

A)Temperature continuously oscillates undamped
B)Temperature remains constantly below initial
C)Temperature increases to final equilibrium
D)Pressure decreases linearly

💡 Explanation

The temperature rises because heat is released as the exothermic reaction proceeds toward equilibrium due to Le Chatelier's principle; the forward reaction dominates over the reverse. Therefore, the system heats up rather than oscillating or cooling because the adiabatic conditions retain all heat.
