Consider the following reaction at equilibrium: 2 NH3(g) ⇄ N2(g) + 3 H2(g) What does Le Chatelier's principle predict will happen when adding N2 (g) to the system at equilibrium?

Respuesta :

Answer : The equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Explanation :

Le-Chatelier's principle : This principle states that if any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

The given reaction is:

[tex]2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons N_2(g)+3H_2(g)[/tex]

As per question, when we are adding [tex]N_2[/tex]  then the concentration of [tex]N_2[/tex] is increased on product side then the equilibrium will shift in the direction where decrease of concentration of [tex]N_2[/tex] takes place. Therefore, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction.

Thus, the equilibrium will shift in the left direction.
