  4. D Reaction rate does not change
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Equilibrium is shifted to the left

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given reaction, \(\mathrm{N}_{2}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+\) Heat, is an exothermic reaction. \(\therefore\) According to Le-Chatelier's principle, on increase in temperature equilibrium is shifted to the left.
