When temp is increased, rate increases for both forward & backward. When they ask you for yield, then you can say yield of Nh3 will decrease.The Haber process for the manufacture of ammonia is represented by the following equation.
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) ∆H = –92kJ mol–1
Which statement is correct about this reaction when the temperature is increased?
A Both forward and backward rates increase.
B The backward rate only increases.
C The forward rate only increases.
D There is no effect on the backward or forward rate.
Why is the correct answer A? The reaction in exothermic so by increasing the temperature, won't the backward reaction increase only?
