What will happen if more heat is applied to the following system at equilibrium?
X\(_2\)(g) + 3Y\(_2\)(g) ⇌ 2XY\(_3\)(g); ∆H = xKJmol\(^{-1}\)
- the yield of XY 3 will decompose
- more of XY3 will decompose
-
More of X2 will react
- the forward reaction will remain static
The correct answer is: C
Explanation
Increase in temperature will cause the forward reaction to occur, increasing the amounts of the products and decreasing the amounts of reactants.
