Consider the reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g). When hydrogen gas is added to this system at equilibrium, the reaction will shift towards reactants.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding hydrogen gas increases the concentration of one of the reactants, which according to Le Chatelier's principle, would cause the equilibrium to shift towards the products to counteract the change, not towards the reactants.

Consider the Reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

Consider the Reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g)
