Which of the following according to LeChatelier's principle is correct?

Options

  1. AIncrease in temperature favours the endothermic reaction
  2. BIncrease in temperature favours the exothermic reaction
  3. CIncrease in pressure shifts the equilibrium in that side in which number of gaseous moles increases
  4. DAll of the above are true

Correct answer

A. Increase in temperature favours the endothermic reaction

Step-by-step solution

According to Le-Chatelier's principle increase in temperature favours the endothermic reaction while decrease in temperature favour the exothermic reaction. Increase in pressure shifts the equilibrium in that side in which number of gaseous moles decreases.
