For an exothermic reaction at equilibrium, increasing temperature will shift the equilibrium:
ANo effect
BToward reactants
CToward products
DBecomes irreversible
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Toward reactants
By Le Chatelier's principle: for exothermic reactions, increasing T shifts equilibrium backward (towards reactants), as the system absorbs the added heat by reversing.
