Consider the following reaction equation: N2(g) + 3H2(g); ∆H = -92kJ

A. shift the equilibrium to the right
B. increase the yield of ammonia
C. decrease the amount of hydrogen
D. decrease the yield of ammonia

Correct Answer:

Option D – decrease the yield of ammonia

Explanation

In this case, an increase in temperature will cause the equilibrium position to shift to the left thereby decreasing the yield of ammonia.
