Question

Consider the equilibrium: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g) ΔH = -92 kJ. Increasing the temperature will:
Options
A favor the forward reaction
B favor the reverse reaction
Correct Answer
C have no effect on equilibrium
D increase the value of K
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The reaction is exothermic (ΔH negative). According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing temperature favors the endothermic direction, which is the reverse reaction, shifting equilibrium to the left and decreasing K.

Hint

Treat heat as a product for exothermic reactions.
