Answer is: Check for the presence of alpha, beta, and gamma particles.

1) Alpha particle is nucleus of a helium-4 atom, which is made of two protons and two neutrons.

Alpha decay is radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four.

2) Beta decay is radioactive decay in which a beta ray and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus.

There are two types of beta decay: beta minus and beta plus.

3) During gamma emission the nucleus emits radiation without changing its composition.

Given that this reaction is exothermic, what direction will the equilibrium shift when the temperature of the reaction is decrea
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Equilibrium will shift towards the products when temperature is decreased in an exothermic reaction of the  formation of ammonia.

<h3>What is an exothermic reaction?</h3>

An exothermic reaction is a reaction in which heat content of the reactants is greater than the heat content of product.

In an exothermic reaction, heat is given off.

For an exothermic reaction in equilibrium, increasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the towards the left, towards the reactants.

On the other, equilibrium will shift towards the products when temperature is decreased.

Therefore, equilibrium will shift towards the products when temperature is decreased in the reaction of the  formation of ammonia.
