An exothermic reaction at equilibrium will proceed at a:

Answer: faster rate while its Kc decreases at higher temperatures.

Does the increase in temperature also apply to the rate part of this question? I guess I am a little confused about the wording here so to clear this up for me.... At CONSTANT temperature would an exothermic reaction proceed at a faster rate?

If a reaction is EXOTHERMIC , an increase in temperature will speed it up,,,,,,BUT will shift the equilibrium to the Left.....Thus the rate constant increases,,,,,,but the Keq decreases. Your question is a bit confusing, but hope this helps.
