20 of 30
what would happen if the temperature was decreased ?
higher % yield, slow rate of reaction
21 of 30
what would happen if the pressure was increased?
higher % yield
22 of 30
why is the reaction in the hater process called an 'equilibrium' ?
the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backwards
