@chmvijay could you help me out with this one? I'd really appreciate it

anonymous · Answer

Lowering the tempwerature will favour the forward, exothermic reaction.

anonymous · Answer

Okay thank you! And it is an exothermic reaction because of the negative sign, correct? @ghuczek

Yes. The forward reaction (as written) is exothermic because of the negative sign.
