The formation of ammonia from its constituent elements is an exothermic reaction. The effect of increase temperature on the reaction equilibrium is

  1. A The rate of the forward reaction becomes zero
  2. B No effect of temperature.
  3. C Forward reaction is favored
  4. D Backward reaction is favored
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) Backward reaction is favored

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Consider the reaction of formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen by Haber's process: N2g+3H2g⇌       2NH3g; ∆H=-92.4 kJ The forward reaction is exothermic while, the reverse reaction is endothermic. If the…
