Higher yield of NO in N2(g) + O2(g) 2NO(g) can be obtained at [ H of the reaction = +180.7 kJ mol-1] Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- B, C, D only
- A, C, D only
- A, D only
- B, C only
Answer
(2) A, C, D only
Solution
H = +180.7 kJ mol-1, the forward reaction is endothermic.
By Le Chatelier's principle, a higher temperature therefore shifts the equilibrium forward, so A is correct and B is wrong.
Adding a reactant (N2 or O2) also shifts the equilibrium towards NO, so C and D are correct.
A, C, D only.
Answer: (2)
