Consider the reaction na+(g) + cl−(g) → nacl(s). if the temperature is lowered, what is favored? 1. products 2. reactants

Respuesta :

Answer is: 1. products (NaCl(s)).
This reaction is exothermic, which means that heat is released. According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is exothermic heat is included as a product and when the temperature decreased, the heat of the system decreases, so the system consume shifting the equilibrium to the right,  producing more sodium chloride.
