alleryAccording to Le Chatelier, raising the temperature shifts the ammonia equilibrium:
ATo the layer
BTo the limit
CTo the ledge
DTo the left
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. To the left
1. Ammonia synthesis releases heat.
2. Adding heat opposes the exothermic direction.
3. Raising the temperature shifts the equilibrium to left and decreases the concentration of ammonia.
4. So the answer is to the left.
