Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following changes will shift the equilibrium to the right in the reaction: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the reaction: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g).
  • Step 2: Count the number of gas moles on each side of the reaction.
  • Step 3: On the left side, there are 1 mole of N2 and 3 moles of H2, totaling 4 moles of gas.
  • Step 4: On the right side, there are 2 moles of NH3.
  • Step 5: Compare the total moles of gas: 4 moles on the left vs. 2 moles on the right.
  • Step 6: Understand that increasing pressure in a reaction shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas.
  • Step 7: Since the right side has fewer moles (2 moles of NH3), increasing pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right.
