Fractional conversion _____________ with increase in pressure for ammonia synthesis reaction i.e., N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3?
Correct answer: A. Increases
- A. Increases
- B. Decreases
- C. Remains unchanged
- D. Unpredictable from the data
Explanation
Ammonia synthesis reduces the total gas moles from four to two, so increasing pressure shifts equilibrium toward ammonia. The equilibrium conversion therefore increases, assuming other conditions remain fixed.
