Q1
For the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g), what happens to the equilibrium if the volume of the container is decreased? (2020)
Equilibrium shifts to the right
Equilibrium shifts to the left
No change in equilibrium
Equilibrium shifts to the side with more moles
Decreasing the volume increases the pressure, and according to Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will shift to the side with fewer moles of gas, which is the right side in this case.
