Read the Assertion and Reason below and choose the correct option. — Chemical Equilibrium Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Le Chatelier's principle states that a system at equilibrium responds to a disturbance by shifting in a direction that counteracts the disturbance. An increase in temperature adds heat to the system; the system counteracts this by absorbing the excess heat. Since endothermic processes absorb heat, they minimize the temperature increase. Thus, Statement II perfectly explains Statement I. Therefore, correct answer is A.
