  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

\(\mathrm{N}_{2}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}+\) heat
It is an exothermic reaction, so high temperature favours backward reaction. Hence, equilibrium is shifted towards the left.
