Answer to Question #86220 in General Chemistry for gilson

Question

ways to increase yield of an exothermic and endothermic reaction

Answer 1

1. Increase the temperature of an endothermic reaction.

An endothermic reaction absorbs energy. If you add energy, you favour the product forming reaction.

2. Decrease the temperature of an exothermic reaction.

An exothermic reaction gives off energy. If you remove the energy, you favour the product forming reaction.
