Consider the equation 2NH₃ (g)⇔ N₂ (g)+ 3H₂ (g). Increasing the pressure will ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing pressure will shift the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, according to Le Chatelier's principle. The left-hand side of the equation has one mole of gas, while the right-hand side has four moles of gas. Therefore, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left, towards the side with fewer moles of gas.
