Question: What will happen to the equilibrium position of the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) β 2NH3(g) when the pressure is increased?
Options:
Correct Answer: Shift to the right
Solution:
Increasing pressure shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas. Here, the right side has 2 moles (NH3) compared to 4 moles (N2 + 3H2), so the equilibrium shifts to the right.
