Level 0

Page 36 of 50
Insufficient correct chemistry to gain a mark.
0 marks
Indicative chemistry content
Stage 1: consider effect of higher temperature on yield
(Or vice versa for lower temperature)
• Le Chatelier’s principle predicts that equilibrium shifts
to oppose any increase in temperature
• Exothermic reaction, so equilibrium shifts in
endothermic direction / to the left
• So a Higher T will reduce yield
Stage 2: consider effect of higher temperature on rate
(Or vice versa for lower temperature)
• At higher temperature, more high energy molecules
• more collisions have E>Ea
• So rate of reaction increases / time to reach
equilibrium decreases
Stage 3: conclusion
Industrial conditions chosen to achieve (cost-effective)
balance of suitable yield at reasonable rate
