Given the reaction:
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) <--> 2 NH3(g)
If the system is at equilibrium, what will happen is pressure is added?
Group of answer choices

A. Nothing. Pressure does not affect equilibrium position.

B. The reaction will shift to the right to produce more product.

C. All of the above

D. The reaction will shift to the left to produce more reactants

Answer:

B.) The reaction will shift to the right to produce more product.

Explanation:

When the pressure of a reaction is increased, the equilibrium shifts to the side with less moles of gas.

You can determine the moles of gas by adding the coefficients on each side of the reaction. The reactants have 4 moles of gas (1 + 3 = 4) and the products have 2 moles of gas. Since there are less moles of gas on the product side, the equilibrium will shift to that side. As such, more product will be produced.
