Industrial engineers picking conditions for a gas-phase equilibriumLower the temperature?More product at equilibriumReaction becomes too slow to be economicalFix: add a catalyst to speed up reaching equilibriumChosen temperature: fast enough rate, still a workable yieldRaise the pressure?More product at equilibriumThicker vessels, higher risk, more expensive plantChosen pressure: balances yield gained against cost and safety spentFavours yieldHurts rateFavours yield: fewer gas moles on the product sideHurts cost and safety
