Award 1st mark for correct explanations of thermodynamic stability (or instability) Award 2nd mark for correct explanation of kinetic stability. Award the 3rd mark for applying these definitions to THIS system. thermodynamic: products at lower energy level than reactants thus thermodynamically unstable(1) can be argued the other way

Kinetic: large Ea or means very few molecules have enough energy to react (1) so reaction is very slow or is kinetically stable (1) 3

Then any six of the following eight points: a temperature of 750°C is used: as the reaction is endothermic (1) a high temperature increases the value of the equilibrium constant (1) and so increases the equilibrium yield (1) a high temperature also favours a fast rate (1) but a temperature > 750 would be too expensive / cause engineering problems (1) Temperature could score up to 5 but max 6 for T and P combined.

If their calculation in (b) gives an exothermic answer, mark consequentially [exothermic (1), decreases Kp (1), decreases yield (1) but faster rate(1), so 750 is compromise of fast rate and lower yield (1)] A pressure of 30 atm is used even though the reaction goes from 3 to 5 gas moles / more gas moles of
