Consider the reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g). The production of ammonia is an exothermic reaction. When heat is added to the equilibrium system it will shift to increase the amount of ammonia produced.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement is incorrect. The reaction is actually endothermic, not exothermic, and adding heat would shift the equilibrium to favor the reactants, not the products.

Consider the Reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Consider the Reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g)
