Which equilibrium shift results when heating ester synthesis?

💡 Explanation

Heating favors endothermic reactions; ester synthesis is exothermic; therefore, equilibrium shifts to reactants because higher temperature favors increased rate of the *reverse reaction* pathway rather than the forward (ester formation).
