Question

question 5 of 10 how can the effect of heat on a reaction be determined? a. heat is treated as a reactant or a product. b. heat always shifts a reaction toward product formation. c. heat always shifts a reaction toward reactant formation. d. heat will increase reaction rate, but not equilibrium position.

Explanation:

According to Le - Chatelier's principle, for an endothermic reaction heat is a reactant and for an exothermic reaction heat is a product. Changes in heat affect the equilibrium of a reaction. Heat doesn't always shift a reaction towards product or reactant formation, and it can affect both reaction rate and equilibrium position.

Answer:

A. Heat is treated as a reactant or a product.
