NEST2015ChemistryChemical Equilibrium
Consider the following reversible reaction at a particular temperature and pressure, N ₂( ~g )+3 H ₂( ~g ) 2 NH ₃( ~g ) for which the equilibrium constants in terms of mole fraction (x) and partial pressure (p) are defined as K_x= x_ NH ₃ ^2 x_ N ₂ x_ H ₂ ^3 and K_P= p_ NH ₃ ^2 p_ N ₂ p_ H ₂ ^3 , respectively. Let an equilibrium mixture contain 3 mol of N ₂, 1 ~mol of H ₂ and 1 mol of NH ₃ (K_x=8.33 ) . Now, keeping
Options
- AThe equilibrium will shift to the left producing more N ₂ , if the N ₂ addition is at constant pressure.
- BThe equilibrium will shift to the right producing more NH ₃ , if the N ₂ addition is at constant pressure.
- CThe equilibrium will shift to the left producing more N ₂ , if the N ₂ addition is at constant volume.
- DThe equilibrium will shift to the right producing more NH ₃ , if the N ₂ addition is at constant volume.
Correct answer
D. The equilibrium will shift to the right producing more NH ₃ , if the N ₂ addition is at constant volume.
