The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the forward reaction \(2NH_3 \rightleftharpoons N_2 + 3H_2\) is endothermic or exothermic based on the given equilibrium constants at different temperatures, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the equilibrium constants at the given temperatures. - At \(25^\circ C\), the equilibrium constant \(K_{25} = 3.5\) - At \(400^\circ C\), the equilibrium constant \(K_{400} = 35\) ### Step 2: Analyze the change in equilibrium constant with temperature. - We observe that as the temperature increases from \(25^\circ C\) to \(400^\circ C\), the equilibrium constant increases from \(3.5\) to \(35\). ### Step 3: Relate the change in equilibrium constant to the nature of the reaction. - According to Le Chatelier's principle, if the equilibrium constant increases with an increase in temperature, the reaction must absorb heat. This indicates that the forward reaction is endothermic. ### Step 4: Conclude the nature of the reaction. - Since the equilibrium constant increases with temperature, we conclude that the forward reaction \(2NH_3 \rightleftharpoons N_2 + 3H_2\) is an endothermic reaction. ### Final Answer: The forward reaction is endothermic. ---
