b. reaction 2: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
c. reaction 3: 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O + Au
Answer:
Heating the system
Explanation:
According to the principle of Le Chatelier, for a system at equilibrium, a specific disturbance would make the equilibrium shift toward the direction which minimizes such a disturbance.
Since we wish to shift the equilibrium to the left, this means we wish to increase the concentration of products, as an excess in their concentration would make the products react and produce more reactants in order to lower the excess concentration of products.
Since heat is also a product, an increase in heat would shift the equilibrium toward the left, as this would consume the excess of heat by producing the reactants.
1 is B (Just remember to have the same number of atoms on both sides)
2 is B (A precipitate is a solid forming from 2 liquids)
The length of the seasons would increase
