What will happen if more heat is applied to the following system at equilibrium?

X\(_2\)(g) + 3Y\(_2\)(g) ⇌ 2XY\(_3\)(g); ∆H = xKJmol\(^{-1}\)

the yield of XY 3 will decompose
more of XY3 will decompose
More of X2 will react
the forward reaction will remain static

Explanation

Increase in temperature will cause the forward reaction to occur, increasing the amounts of the products and decreasing the amounts of reactants.
