Consider the reversible exothermic reaction:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NH3(g) + heatUnder which of the following conditions will the equilibrium shift in the forward direction (towards the formation of ammonia)?
1. Increasing the concentration of \(N H_3 ( g )\)Mark the conditions that favour the maximum product formation in the given reaction.
1. Low temperature and high pressure.
2. Low temperature and low pressure.
3. High temperature and high pressure.
4. High temperature and low pressure.
| 1. | Shifts in the forward reaction |
| 2. | Shifts in backward reaction |
| 3. | Remains unaffected |
| 4. | Initially in the forward direction and then in the backward direction |
