Question

Consider the following system at equilibrium at 723 K: 2 NH3 (g) 26.6 kcal N2 (g) 3 H2 (g) Indicate whether each individual change would favor the production of N2 (g). Evaluate each change separately, assuming that all other conditions remain constant.

Answer 1

Answer:

- To increase the temperature as it is a reactant in terms of its endothermicity.

- To remove it will enable more space for the reactant to favor its production.

- To add more reactant in order to increase its equilibrium concentration.

Explanation:

Hello,

The undergoing chemical reaction is:

$2NH_3(g)\rightleftharpoons 3H_2(g)+N_2(g)$

Thus, in order to intensify the amount of nitrogen as the chemical reaction is endothermic, considering the Le Chatelier's principle we state:

- To increase the temperature as it is a reactant in terms of its endothermicity.

- To remove it will enable more space for the reactant to favor its production.

- To add more reactant in order to increase its equilibrium concentration.

Best regards.
