N\(_2\)O\(_4\) ⇔ 2NO\(_2\) (Δ = -ve)
From the reaction above, which of these conditions would produce the highest equilibrium yield for N\(_2\)O\(_4\)?
Low temperature and high pressure
Low temperature and low pressure
high temperature and low pressure
high temperature and high pressure
설명
high temperature and high pressure favor the highest yield for N\(_2\)O\(_4\)
high temperature favours the production of the reactant since it is endothermic, while high pressure favours the side involving a decrease in volume.
