N ₂+3 H ₂ 2 NH ₃+ Heat. What is the effect of the increase of temperature on the equilibrium of the reaction?
Options
- AEquilibrium is shifted to the left
- BEquilibrium is shifted to the right
- CEquilibrium is unaltered
- DReaction rate does not change
Correct answer
A. Equilibrium is shifted to the left
Step-by-step solution
The given reaction, N ₂+3 H ₂ 2 NH ₃+ Heat, is an exothermic reaction. According to Le-Chatelier's principle, on increase in temperature equilibrium is shifted to the left.
