← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increasing temperature in exothermic reversible reaction at equilibrium?
A)Reverse reaction rate increases✓
B)Forward reaction rate accelerates
C)Equilibrium constant increases
D)Activation energy threshold lowers
💡 Explanation
When temperature increases in an exothermic equilibrium, the reverse (endothermic) reaction rate increases disproportionately because Le Chatelier’s principle dictates stress relief by favoring heat absorption. Therefore the reverse reaction rate increases, rather than forward acceleration, constant increase or activation energy which don't directly counteract added heat.
