Question

Predict the effect of decreasing the temperature on the

amount(s) of reactant(s) in the following reactions:

(a) C2H2(g) + H2O(g) ⥫⥬ CH3CHO(g) ΔHrxn ° = −151 kJ

Answer 1

Decrease in temperature decrease the amount of reactant. Hence; for the given exothermic reaction decrease in temperature decreases the amount of reactants.
