N2 + 3H2 <==> 2NH3 .. ∆H = –92 kJ
Which operation will increase the yield of ammonia in the equilibrium mixture?
(A) doubling the concentration of hydrogen
This will shift equilibrium to the right making more NH3
(B) reducing the total pressure
This will shift equilibrium to the left making more N2 and H2 and less NH3
(C) raising the temperature
This will shift equilibrium to the left making less NH3 because -kJ means exothermic rxn
(D) increasing the reaction time
This will not have an effect on equilibrium position
(E) adding a catalyst
This will not have an effect on equilibrium position
