Interpretation:
The effect of temperature on the equilibrium position is to be explained during a reversible process.
Concept introduction:
By changing the temperature of the reaction the equilibrium state shifts to attains the equilibrium position, according to the Le Chatelier’s principle.
Explanation of Solution
For an exothermic reaction, when temperature is increased then the value of equilibrium position decreases which means that the equilibrium position shifts to left side or reactant side, according to Le Chatelier’s principle.
On the other hand for an endothermic reaction if temperature is increased, equilibrium shifts to forward direction.
