Kayvan investigates the effect of changing the pressure and changing the temperature on this reaction. The table shows the percentage yield of methane in the equilibrium mixture under different conditions. Describe what happens to the percentage yield as the pressure and temperature change and explain the effect of increasing the pressure on the rate of reaction. – 7566

1. Increasing the pressure makes the particles closer together, so they are more crowded in the same space. This means there are more collisions between particles, which makes the reaction faster and can also increase the percentage yield.

   From the table, the percentage yield goes down as the temperature increases, but it goes up as the pressure increases. The highest yield happens when the temperature is low and the pressure is high.
