Q4-5
The production of ammonia in the Haber Process is an example of a reversible reaction:

N2 (g) + 3H2 (g)   ⇌  2NH3 (g)  ΔH = - 92.4kJ

 

Select the answer which states and gives a reason for the effect on the yield of ammonia (NH3) of …

4. ...increasing the temperature:

  Yield of Ammonia Reason
A increases because the forward reaction is endothermic
B increases because the reverse reaction is endothermic
C decreases because the forward reaction is endothermic
D decreases because the reverse reaction is endothermic

5. ...increasing the pressure:

  Yield of Ammonia Reason
A increases because there are less moles of gas on the ‘products’ side
B increases because there are less moles of gas on the ‘reactants’ side
C decreases because there are less moles of gas on the ‘products’ side
D decreases because there are less moles of gas on the ‘reactants’ side
6. The decomposition of dinitrogen tetroxide is an endothermic process as bonds are broken.

This is also a reversible reaction and the equation for this reaction is:

N2O4 (g)      ⇌   2NO2 (g)   

What would be the effect on the position of equilibrium of increasing the temperature and of increasing the pressure?

Dinitrogen tetroxide
  Increasing the temperature Increasing the pressure
A Moves to the left Moves to the left
B Moves to the left Moves to the right
C Moves to the right Moves to the left
D Moves to the right Moves to the right
