A reversible reaction in a sealed container is at equilibrium at each temperature. The percentage of substance B in the equilibrium mixture is measured.
| Temperature in °C | Percentage of substance B |
|---|---|
| 300 | 34 |
| 400 | 51 |
| 500 | 68 |
Explain what the results show about the forward reaction, and predict how cooling the mixture would change the equilibrium position.
