At a certain temperature,nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia: N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇌ 2 NH₃(g) .
When initial amounts of N₂,H₂,and NH₃ are mixed,the concentration of NH₃ increases.Which statement below is TRUE?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the concentration of NH₃ increases, it means that the reaction is proceeding in the forward direction, or towards the formation of ammonia. Therefore, the reaction quotient Q must be smaller than the equilibrium constant K for the forward reaction. Thus, K_c > Q, so the answer is B.
