Q. $N_2 +3H_2 \leftrightharpoons 2NH_3 + heat$. What is the effect of the increase of temperature on the equilibrium of the reaction?

KCETKCET 2008Equilibrium

Solution:

$N _{2}+3 H _{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 NH _{3}+$ heat

It is an exothermic reaction, so high temperature favours backward reaction. Hence, equilibrium is shifted towards the left.
