Themochemical Equilibrium question.?

Question

If a reaction is exothermic as written from left to right, will a removal of heat from the system accelerate the formation of the products? Explain.

Answer 1

Le Chatelier's principle: removing heat favours a heat-producing process, which the reaction is.

Comment: actually, the principle tells you where the equilibrium lies, but nothing about how quickly you will ever get there. And infact virtually all reactions go more slowly at lower temperature. So it's an ambiguous and thoroughly lousy question.

Not your fault!
