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\(^{-1}\)

A.

the yield of XY 3 will decompose

B.

more of XY3 will decompose

C.

More of X2 will react

D.

the forward reaction will remain static

Correct answer is C

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