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

Question

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

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Le Chatelier's Principle, increasing pressure will shift the equilibrium to the side with fewer moles of gas. In this reaction, there are four moles of gas on the left side (2 NH₃) and only two moles of gas on the right side (N₂ + 3H₂). Therefore, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left to decrease the number of gas molecules and relieve the pressure.
