What is the effect of increasing the temperature on an exothermic reaction at equilibrium?
The equilibrium shifts to favor the products.
The equilibrium shifts to favor the reactants.
There is no change in the equilibrium.
The reaction rate increases, but equilibrium is unchanged.
Explanation
Increasing temperature favors the endothermic direction (the reverse reaction for an exothermic one).
