Question #189920
How will the following conditions affect the equilibrium of the chemical reaction below:
4NO(g) + 6H2O(g) → 4NH3 + 5O2 ∆H = 904.4 kJ
a. adding more H2O
b. removing O2
c. increasing the temperature of the system
d. decreasing the pressure of the system
Expert's answer
a) Increase[H2O]
add product, shift left, [NO] decreases.
b) Decrease [O2]
remove reactant, shift left, [NO] decreases.
c) Increase temperature
exothermic, temperature goes up, shift left, [NO] decrease.
d) Decreasing Pressure
exothermic, temperature goes down , shift right , [NO] increases.
