KCET2008ChemistryChemical Equilibrium
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
N ₂+3 H ₂ 2 NH ₃+ heat It is an exothermic reaction, so high temperature favours backward reaction. Hence, equilibrium is shifted towards the left.
