Answer» temperature and pressure temperature only pressure only temperature , pressure and catalyst used Solution :The given reaction is ccompanied by decrease of randomness, i.e., randompanied factor MUST favour opposes the process . Hence , the energy factor must favour , u.e ` Delta H = -ve` which MEANS the reaction is exothermic . Alternatively , backward is dissociation reaction and hence endothermic. Also `n_(p) != n_(R) ` Hence , both temperature and pressure will affect the equilibrium .
