Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g), if the concentration of NH3 is increased, what will happen to the concentration of N2 at equilibrium?
  • Step 1: Identify the reaction: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g).
  • Step 2: Recognize that NH3 is a product of the reaction.
  • Step 3: Understand that increasing the concentration of a product (NH3) disturbs the equilibrium.
  • Step 4: Apply Le Chatelier's principle, which states that the system will adjust to counteract the change.
  • Step 5: Since NH3 is increased, the equilibrium will shift to the left to reduce the amount of NH3.
  • Step 6: As the equilibrium shifts to the left, the concentration of N2 will increase.
