Compromise Between Rate Of Reaction And Product Yield

Question 1

Compromise made when reaction is exothermic

Answer 1

-low temperature increases yield at equilibrium as favours exothermic reaction
-high temperature increases rate of reaction meaning more product made in shorter amount of time
-compromise must be made that maximises yield while maintaining high rate, can use a catalyst to increase rate further

Question 2

Two factors to take into account in industrial processes

Answer 2

-yield of product
-rate of reaction
