Answer:
1) The value of Kc:
C. remains the same.
2) The value of Qc:
A. is greater than Kc.
3) The reaction must:
B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium.
4) The concentration of N2 will:
B. decrease.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, by means of the Le Chatelier's principle which is based on the shift a chemical reaction could have under some modifications, we have:
1) The value of Kc:
C. remains the same, since it just depend the reaction's thermodynamics as it is computed via:
2) The value of Qc:
A. is greater than Kc, since the reaction quotient is:
Thus, the lower the concentration of ammonia, the higher Qc, making Qc>Kc.
3) The reaction must:
B. run in the reverse direction to restablish equilibrium, since ammonia was withdrawn and should be regenerated to reach the equilibrium.
4) The concentration of N2 will:
B. decrease, since less reactant is forming the products.
Best regards.
