For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g), H = -92.4 kJ mol-1. The yield of ammonia increases on
- increasing temperature
- decreasing pressure
- increasing pressure
- adding a catalyst
Answer
(3) increasing pressure
Solution
Forward reaction decreases the number of gaseous moles (4 → 2), so higher pressure favours NH₃.
