Temperature

[Nahelly Alfaro-2C]

Based on the temperature a reaction has, how can one know if reaction being favored is forward or reverse?

[anthony_trieu2L]

More information must be given in order to determine whether a process will proceed in the forward or reverse direction. The change in enthalpy by the reaction is particularly important as you can determine whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic.

[mbaker4E]

If a reaction is endothermic, increasing temperature will favor the products while decreasing will favor the reactants. Conversely, if a reaction is exothermic, an increase in temperature will favor the reactants and a decrease in temperature will favor the products.
