The reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia is maintained at equilibrium in a rigid contai — Equilibrium Chemistry Question
Question
The reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia is maintained at equilibrium in a rigid container at fixed temperature:
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ⇌ 2 NH3(g)
Helium gas is introduced into the system, causing the total pressure to increase by a factor of two. How will the equilibrium for the reaction shift?
A.✓ Correct
It will be unaffected.
B.
It will shift to the left.
C.
It will shift to the right.
D.
The direction that the equilibrium will shift depends on whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic.
