Question

Look at the following reaction. How could you increase the production of 2NH3(g)? N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) Increase the volume of the reaction vessel. Increase the pressure of the system. Decrease the pressure of the system. Remove N2(g) from the system.

Answer 1

The correct option is B. To increase the production of ammonia, you have to increase the pressure of the system. Increase in pressure will result in increased production of ammonia because this will drive the chemical reaction forward.

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we apply pressure or increase the pressure then molecules of the gas come closer to each other. As a result, forces of attraction will increase which will lead to increase in production of the product.

Therefore, in the given reaction the production can be increased by increasing the pressure of the system.
