Samples of nitrogen and hydrogen are mixed and left until equilibrium is reached. The equation is given as: $\text{N}_2 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3 \qquad \Delta H = -92\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}$. The temperature is raised and a new equilibrium is then established. Which statement about this new equilibrium is correct?
- AThe amount of product increases.
- BThe amount of product decreases.
- CThe rate of the forward reaction is greater than the rate of the reverse reaction.
- DThe rate of the forward reaction is less than the rate of the reverse reaction.
