Re: Textbook Problem 5J.11 part b
Hi!
I believe the halogen part was really there to test our knowledge of endothermic/ exothermic reactions. In order for X2 --> 2X, energy would need to be added to the system (endothermic) since it takes energy to break bonds. Therefore, an increase in temperature would lead to a shift toward products. Hope that helps!

The halogen equation would be Heat + X2 -> 2X, X2 needs energy to break down to 2X so it is endothermic. So when temperature increases, the reaction shifts to the right.

To form 2 molecules from 1 molecule, we need to break bonds, which requires an input of energy, which means that the reaction is endothermic. From there, we can find how the reaction shifts based on changes in temperature.
