Practice question
Question
In the equilibrium N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) <=> 2NH₃(g) , increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium towards which direction?
Explanation
According to Le Chatelier’s principle, increasing pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas. Here, 4 moles (reactants) become 2 moles (products), so it shifts right.
