How do endothermic and exothermic forward reactions differ in their heat transfer?
An endothermic forward reaction takes in heat; an exothermic forward reaction releases heat.
How do increasing and decreasing temperature affect the relative amount of products at equilibrium when the forward reaction is endothermic?
Increasing temperature increases the relative amount of products; decreasing temperature decreases it.
How do increasing and decreasing temperature affect the relative amount of products at equilibrium when the forward reaction is exothermic?
Increasing temperature decreases the relative amount of products; decreasing temperature increases it.
