At constant pressure, addition of helium to the reaction system : N 2 (g) + 3H 2 (g)  ⇌ 2NH 3 (g)
Options
- AFavours the formation of ammonia
- BReduces the formation of ammonia
- CDoes not affect the position of equilibrium
- DReduces the dissociation of ammonia.
Correct answer
B. Reduces the formation of ammonia
Step-by-step solution
K p = n 2 N H 3 n N 2 × n H 2 3 × P Σ n Δ n At constant pressure, with the introduction inert gas Σ n increases. Since Δ n = – 2 , therefore on increasing Σ n P Σ n Δ n increases, but K p remain constant, hence no. of moles of N 2 g & H 2 g are increased and backward reaction is favoured.
