Le ChatelierEasyQuestion 600403

Question

For N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ (exothermic), increasing temperature will:
  1. A
    Shift equilibrium to the right
  2. B
    Shift equilibrium to the left
    Correct
  3. C
    Have no effect
  4. D
    Double the rate

Correct answer

Shift equilibrium to the left

Explanation

Le Chatelier principle: increasing temperature for an exothermic reaction shifts equilibrium backward (to absorb heat), decreasing [NH₃] and increasing Keq decreases.
