A mixture of N 2 , H 2 , and NH 3 is allowed to equilibrate in a piston as shown

Question

A mixture of N2, H2, and NH3 is allowed to equilibrate in a piston as shown below.

N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ? 2 NH3 (g)

The external pressure is then increased, and the sample is allowed to re-equilibrate. Which piston contains more NH3 molecules?

A. More NH3 in initial equilibrium

B. Equal NH3 in both states

C. More NH3 in final equilibrium

A mixture of N2, H2, and NH3 is allowed to equilibrate in a piston as shown below. N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ? 2 NH3 (g) The external pressure is then increased, and the sample is allowed to re-equilibrate. Which piston contains more NH3 molecules? A. More NH3 in initial equilibrium B. Equal NH3 in both states C. More NH3 in final equilibrium

Explanation / Answer

With higher pressure the system wants to sghift to a lesser volume side that is the forward reaction. Therefore more NH3 in the final solution
