Ammonia can be converted to nitrogen (II) Oxide as shown in the equation below in a research centre.


(a) Explain how an increase in temperature would affect the yield of nitrogen (II) oxide.
(b) On the energy level diagram above sketch, the energy level diagram that would be
obtained if the reaction is carried out in the presence of platinum catalyst.

  

Answers

---

(a) Increase in temperature would lower the yield of nitrogen, this is because the
reaction is exothermic and equilibrium shift to the left.
