Question
On increasing the pressure, in which direction will the gas phase reaction proceed to re-establish equilibrium, is predicted by applying the Le Chatelier’s principle. Consider the reaction.
\[\ce{N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ⇌ 2NH3 (g)}\]
Which of the following is correct, if the total pressure at which the equilibrium is established, is increased without changing the temperature?
Options
K will remain same.
K will decrease.
K will increase.
K will increase initially and decrease when pressure is very high.
Solution
K will remain same.
Explanation:
\[\ce{N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ⇌ 2NH3 (g)}\]
According to Le Chatelier’s principle, at constant temperature, the equilibrium composition will change but K will remain same.
