For the reaction; N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇌ 2 NH₃(g) , the equilibrium amount of NH₃ will be increased by:
I. increasing the pressure
II. adding H₂
III. removing N₂
IV. decreasing the pressure

Question

For the reaction; N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) ⇌ 2 NH₃(g), the equilibrium amount of NH₃ will be increased by: I. increasing the pressure II. adding H₂ III. removing N₂ IV. decreasing the pressure

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the pressure favors the formation of fewer gas molecules, thus shifting the equilibrium towards NH₃. Adding H₂ shifts the equilibrium towards the products to counteract the change.
