(i) A decrease in temperature
(ii) An increase in pressure
(b) How does a catalyst affect reversible reaction already in equilibrium?
(c) On the above diagram, sketch the energy level diagram that would be obtained when iron catalyst is added to the reaction

Answers

Maurice
a) i) the yield of NH3 would be lowered any supply of heat makes NH3 to decompose to
N2 and H2

ii)the yield of NH3 would be increased
b)a catalyst accelerate the rates of both forward and reverse reactions equally. Equilibrium
position is not affected by a catalyst
