This reaction is given:
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <--> 2 NH3(g)
ΔH°rxn = 91.8 kJ/mol
In order to maintain the maximum yield of ammonia when raising the temperature of the reaction, scientists should:
A. maintain N2 and H2 at high pressure.
B. allow N2 and H2 to expand with the increased kinetic energy.
C. increase the volume in the reaction chamber to favor the forward reaction.
D. continuously remove the excess heat produced by the forward reaction.
Correct answer is A.
My question is if heat is on the right with ammonia since the forward rxn is exothermic, if you remove heat won't the system shift to right and produce more ammonia?
