← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a sealed chemical reactor, containing reactants and products at equilibrium, experiences localized overheating?
A)Equilibrium shifts endothermically towards reactants✓
B)Endothermic products increase; then revert
C)Reaction rate irreversibly stalls entirely
D)Exothermic reactants increase; then dissipate
💡 Explanation
Equilibrium shifts via Le Chatelier's principle, because heat is a stressor. Higher temperatures favor the endothermic direction; therefore reactants are initially favored, rather than products, and the reaction does not stall.
