Consider the following equilibrium:
4NH₃(g) + 3O₂(g) ⇌ 2N₂(g) + 6H₂O(g) + 1531 kJ
The concentrations of the reactants will increase when the temperature is increased.

Question

Consider the following equilibrium: 4NH₃(g) + 3O₂(g) ⇌ 2N₂(g) + 6H₂O(g) + 1531 kJ The concentrations of the reactants will increase when the temperature is increased.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, increasing the temperature of an exothermic reaction will shift the equilibrium to the left, decreasing the concentrations of the reactants.
