Answer is: at lower temperatures the reaction rate would decrease. The lower is the temperature, the slower the reaction becomes. ... Because this is exothermic reaction (enthalpy is less than zero), at lower temperatures, the equilibrium is in favor of ammonia, but the reaction doesn't proceed at a detectable rate.
Hi,
let us go through the question again
N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 + energy
Explain the problem surrounding the ammonia-making process in terms of chemical equilibrium.
So I would approach this question on the basis of effect of each of the reactants and products concentration on the equilibrium synthesis of ammonia.
If the concentration of any reactant is increased, the yield of ammonia is increased.
If the concentration of ammonia is reduced by removing it as it forms, the yield will as well be increased.
This reaction also yields heat meaning it is an exothermic reaction, so when we increase the temperature, the yield will be reduced. Hence it is favored by low temperature.
