Diagnostic Misconceptions - Temperature

Test yourself on Diagnostic Misconceptions - Temperature

• How will decreasing temperature affect the equilibrium position in a reversible reaction?

• The following reaction occurs in equilibrium:
  H_2(g) + I_2(g) $\rightleftharpoons$ 2HI_(g)
  
  The forward reaction is exothermic. How could you increase the amount of HI produced?

• The following reaction occurs in equilibrium:
  CuSO₄.5H₂O_(s) $\rightleftharpoons$ CuSO_4(s) + 5H₂O_(l)
  
  The forward reaction is endothermic. How could you increase the amount of CuSO₄.5H₂O_(s)?
