According the Le-Chatelier’s principle, adding heat to a solid and liquid in equilibrium will cause the
A.temperature to increase
B.temperature to decrease
C.amount of liquid to decrease
D.amount of solid to decrease.✓ Correct
Explanation
According to Le Chatelier's principle adding heat to a solid and liquid in equilibrium with endothermic nature will cause the mass of solid to decrease. Increase in temperature favours forward reaction. In endothermic reactions, heat is absorbed with the reactants. It means more energy is needed to overcome the forces of attraction between molecules and to separate them from one another than the energy gained when new bonds are formed.
