Consider the following reaction: N₂(g)+ 3H₂(g)⇌ 2NH₃(g)+ heat Which conditions would favor maximum conversion of the reactants to the products?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the pressure favors the side of the reaction with fewer moles of gas. In this case, moving from 4 moles of gas on the reactants' side to 2 moles on the products' side. Therefore, high pressure favors the production of products. Additionally, since the reaction is exothermic (releases heat), lowering the temperature also favors the production of products.
