Question

N2 +3H2 rightharpoons 2NH3 + heat. What is the effect of the increase of temperature on the equilibrium of the reaction? (A) equilibrium is shifted to the left (B) equilibrium is shifted to the right (C) equilibrium is unaltered (D) reaction rate does not change

N 2+3 H 2 leftharpoons 2 NH 3+ heat It is an exothermic reaction, so high temperature favours backward reaction. Hence, equilibrium is shifted towards the left.

Q. $N_{2} + 3 H_{2} ⇋ 2 N H_{3} + h e a t$ . What is the effect of the increase of temperature on the equilibrium of the reaction?

equilibrium is shifted to the left

equilibrium is shifted to the right

equilibrium is unaltered

reaction rate does not change

$N_{2} + 3 H_{2} ⇌ 2 N H_{3} +$ heat

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