Chapter 17.1, Problem 12SSC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature at which concentration of products is higher to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

According to Le Chatelier’s principle, by lowering the temperature, equilibrium shifts towards the product side because the forward reaction releases heat and more products are formed.

Answer to Problem 12SSC

At the lowest temperature more products are formed as equilibrium is shifts towards right. So, at the temperature $\text{263 K}$, more products are formed.

Explanation of Solution

According to Le Chartelier’s principle, when temperature is decreased then equilibrium is shifts towards the right side or product side and more products are formed. Thus relieves the stress of lowering of temperature.

Conclusion

At the lowest temperature more products are formed as equilibrium is shifts towards right. So, at the temperature $\text{263 K}$, more products are formed.
