Question

According to the Le-Chatelier principle, adding heat to a solid \[\ce{<=>}\] liquid equilibrium will cause the ______.

Options

• temperature to increase

• temperature to decrease

• amount of liquid to decrease

• amount of solid to decrease

Answer 1

According to the Le-Chatelier principle, adding heat to a solid \[\ce{<=>}\] liquid equilibrium will cause the amount of solid to decrease.

Explanation:

\[\ce{Solid <=> Liquid}\]

It is an endothermic reaction. As a result, as the temperature rises, more liquid is formed. As a result, adding heat causes the equilibrium to shift forward.
