Problem

In a vessel containing the reversible reaction A ⇌ B, a sudden temperature increase makes the rate of the forward reaction 2.5 times the rate of the reverse reaction. Describe (i) the initial net direction of conversion and (ii) how the relative rates will change as the system moves toward equilibrium.
