Describe the effects of increasing the 1)Pressure 2) Temperature of the following system and what effect this will have on the equilibrium position of this reversible reaction given the forward reaction is exothermic 3H2 + N2 <--> 2NH3

Overall the closed system will behave by Le Chantelier's Principal where the equilibrium moves to minimise change. So in the first case increasing the pressure will move the equilibrium to the right as there...
