Le Chatelier's Principle — factors that shift equilibrium toward products (right) increase yield.

Step 1 — Analyse each factor:

A. Increasing temperature: Reaction is exothermic (ΔH = −190 kJ). Increasing T shifts equilibrium backward (toward reactants)  decreases yield ✗

B. Increasing pressure: 3 moles gas  2 moles gas (Δn = −1). Increasing pressure shifts equilibrium toward fewer moles  forward  increases yield ✓

C. Adding more : Increases concentration of reactant  shifts equilibrium forw
