Correct answer: 3
- We analyze the equilibrium:
Since , the forward reaction is exothermic.
- Check each factor using Le Chatelier’s principle.
A. Increasing temperature
For an exothermic reaction, heat behaves like a product. Increasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the left, decreasing yield.
- Does not increase yield
B. Increasing pressure
Count gaseous moles:
- Left side: moles
- Right side: moles
Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas, i.e. the right side.
- Increases yield of
C. Adding more
Increasing concentration of a reactant shifts equilibrium to the right to consume added reactant.
- Increases yield of
D. Adding more
Similarly, adding another reactant shifts equilibrium to the right.
- Increases yield of
E. Addition of catalyst
A catalyst speeds up both forward and backward reactions equally. It helps reach equilibrium faster but does not change equilibrium composition.
- Does not increase yield
- Therefore, the factors that increase the equilibrium yield of are:
So, the number of such factors is
