Consider the following equilibrium:
4NH₃(g) + 3O₂(g) ⇌ 2N₂(g) + 6H₂O(g) + 1531 kJ
The concentrations the reactants would increase after nitrogen gas was removed from the system.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's principle, removing a reactant (in this case, nitrogen gas) from an equilibrium system will cause the system to shift towards the reactants side to counteract the change. However, nitrogen gas is not a reactant in the given chemical equation, so removing it would not affect the concentrations of the reactants in this system.
