favour the forward reaction
favour the reverse reaction
Explication
N\(_{2(g)}\) + 3H\(_{2(g)}\) ⇔ 2NH\(_{3(g)}\) In the Haber process, the forward reaction is exothermic and the backward reaction is endothermic. If the temperature is decreased, the yield from the exothermic direction is increased i.e. the forward reaction is increased.
