Interpretation:
Why the amount of product formed is less when we change the temperature at which we run a certain reaction, although the equilibrium state is attained quickly?
Concept introduction:
The effect of temperature on a reaction present in equilibrium depends on whether a reaction is exothermic or an endothermic reaction. For an endothermic reaction with heat as one of the reactants, increase in temperature will shift the equilibrium towards products. Likewise for an exothermic reaction, in which heat is a product increase in heat would shift the equilibrium towards reactants. An increase in temperature would lead to increase in the
