Temperature

• If temperature is increased:

  • Equilibrium shifts to try and reduce the temperature
  • More of the endothermic reaction will occur to cool down the reaction
  • More NO2 is formed as endothermic reaction is more favorable
• What does an increase in temperature favor?

  favors the yield of the endothermic reaction
• What does a decrease in temperature favor?

  Favors the yield of the exothermic reaction
