Question

Based on the reaction below:

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

heat is given out as 1 of the products, along w/ NH3 in the forward reaction. so its an exothermic reaction

decreasing temperature favors exothermic reaction as more heat can be absorbed by the environment

so equilibrium will shift towards the products

Answer 2

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃ + heat

In the given equilibrium, we notice that the heat is on the right. which means that if the heat requirements don't meet, the reactants on the right will no longer react due to the lack of heat

but because the reactants on the left don't have such weaknesses, they will keep reacting hence producing more and more ammonia until a new equilibrium is reached

where there will be more ammonia and less nitrogen and hydrogen as compared to the equilibrium we had initially
