4 Credit will be given for answers which show clear, well-expressed ideas and which present accurate and relevant information in a well organised, logical manner. Your answer should be confined to the space provided and should take approximately 10 minutes. b) In the chemical industry, Le Chatlier’s principle may be used to predict the influence of factors such as concentration, pressure and temperature on the yield of a reversible reaction. The predicted optimum conditions are sometimes impractical.

Using the reaction in the ammonia synthesis explain what is meant by the above statement. (8)
