Answer to Question #86221 in General Chemistry for gilson

Question

ways to increase yield of an exothermic and endothermic reaction

Answer 1

Increasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium in the direction of the endothermic reaction. This reduces the effects of the change because, during an endothermic reaction, energy is transferred from the surroundings. An increase in temperature increases the yield of the endothermic reaction.

Decreasing the temperature shifts the equilibrium in the direction of the exothermic reaction. This reduces the effects of the change because, during an exothermic reaction, energy is transferred to the surroundings. lowering the temperature increases the yield of the exothermic reaction.
