I really need help quickly will medal! For the reaction below, describe the temperature and pressure conditions that would produce the highest yield for the forward reaction. Explain your answer in terms of Le Châtelier’s principle. N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) Two arrows stacked on top of each other. The top arrow points to the right. The bottom arrow points to the left. 2 NH3 (g) deltaH = -92 kJ/mol
What does Le chatelier's principle state?
It states that the system will shift away from the side with the energy, and will shift towards the side with less moles when pressure is increased.
My main question is: would shifting to the left produce more yield, or would shifting to the right? It's what is making me confused.
The yield is always in the forward direction as it's written, that is to the right
so a system shifting to the right would produce the most yield? In this case, increasing the temp of the reactant and decreasing pressure of the reactant? That way the system will shift to the right and there will be more yield?
correct
