Which effect occurs when endothermic reaction temperature decreases within a closed system?

A)Equilibrium position shifts toward reactants
B)Forward reaction rate constant increases
C)Activation energy of reverse reaction lowers
D)Total system energy remains constant

💡 Explanation

When an endothermic reaction's temperature decreases, the equilibrium position shifts toward the reactants because Le Chatelier's principle dictates the system will counteract the temperature change by favoring the heat-absorbing (reactant) side. Therefore reduced yield, rather than changes in reaction rates or unchanged total system energy results without intervention.
