Examine the chemical equation and statement. Mg+2HCl⇌MgCl2+H2
The reaction is at equilibrium. The forward reaction is endothermic, and the reverse reaction is exothermic.
Given a decrease in temperature, how would the reaction shift?

a. A decrease in temperature will cause the reaction to shift toward the endothermic reaction, which has the reactants MgCl2 and H2.
b. A decrease in temperature will cause the reaction to shift toward the endothermic reaction, which has the reactants Mg and HCl.
c. A decrease in temperature will cause the reaction to shift toward the exothermic reaction, which has the reactants Mg and HCl.
d. A decrease in temperature will cause the reaction to shift toward the exothermic reaction, which has the reactants MgCl2 and H2.

d

Explanation:

the endothermic reaction absorbs heat and exothermic emits heat. If we think of this from increasing the temperature, exothermic already emits heat so it would favor an endothermic reaction. In this instance, a decrease in temperature would do the opposite, which would favor the exothermic reaction.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.

i'm wiling to try and you : )
