Raising the temperature of N2 + 3 H2 ⇌ 2 NH3 shifts the equilibrium which way?
ARight, more ammonia
BRight, more nitrogen
CNo change in position
DLeft, less ammonia
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Left, less ammonia
The forward reaction releases heat, so added heat favours the reverse reaction and reduces ammonia.
