Since the reaction is endothermic (absorbs heat), decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left, so increasing the temperature shifts it to the right. Removing a product (NHS) or adding a reactant (NS) will also shift the equilibrium to the right, according to Le Chatelier's principle.

Consider the Following System at Equilibrium: N2 (G)+ 3 H2

Consider the Following System at Equilibrium: N₂ (G)+ 3 H₂
