Question

The forward reaction is endothermic, explain what happens to the yield and equilibrium if we increase the temperature.

CH₄ (g) + H₂ (g)  ⇌ CO (g) + H₂ (g)

The equilibrium shifts to the right, increasing the yield, because increasing the temperature favours the endothermic, forward reaction.

The forward reaction is endothermic, explain what happens to the yield and equilibrium if we increase the temperature. CH₄ (g) + H₂ (g) ⇌ CO (g) + H₂ (g)
