Answer to Question #274270 in General Chemistry for rose

Question

A fertiliser company produces ammonia on a large scale at a temperature of 450°C. In this reaction, hydrogen and nitrogen gas are reacted to produce ammonia, which also results in an equilibrium system. The forward reaction, producing ammonia, is exothermic.

Answer 1

The effect of increasing temperature

When the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves in the endothermic direction to reduce the temperature. ... This means that as the temperature is increased, the position of equilibrium moves to the left, and the yield of ammonia decreases.
