Explain Le Chatelier's principle. What will be the effect of increase in temperature in production of ammonia.
Answers
Answer:
Effect of temperature: Since the forward reaction is exothermic, the increase in temperature favors the backward reaction i.e., the dissociation of ammonia. That means according to le Chatelier's principle, the synthesis of ammonia is favored at lower temperatures.
Explanation:
Le Chatelier's principle is an observation about chemical equilibria of reactions. It states that changes in the temperature, pressure, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the system in order to achieve a new equilibrium state.
Answer:
An increase in temperature favours the reaction that is endothermic (the reverse reaction) because it uses up energy. If the temperature is increased, then the yield of ammonia (NH3) decreases. A decrease in temperature favours the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction) because it produces energy
Explanation:
Increasing the temperature decreases the value of the equilibrium constant. ... If you increase the temperature, the position of equilibrium will move in such a way as to reduce the temperature again. It will do that by favoring the reaction which absorbs heat
