In the equilibrium N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) 2NH₃(g) , increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium towards which direction?

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.

For the reaction A(g) + 2B(g) 3C(g) , Kc = 27 at 400 K. If 1 mole of A and 3 moles of B are placed in a 1 L vessel, what

Initial: [A] = 1 M , [B] = 3 M , [C] = 0 . Let 3x be moles of C formed, so A decreases by x , B by 2x . At equilibrium: [A] = 1 - x , [B] = 3 - 2x , [C] = 3x . Kc = ([C]³/[A][B]²) = ((3x)³/(1 - x)(3 - 2x)²) = 27 , (27x³/(1 - x)(3 - 2x)²) = 27 , (x³/(1 - x)(3 - 2x)²) = 1 . Solving, x³ = (1 - x)(3 - 2x)² , test x = 0.5 : (0.5)³ = 0.125 , (1 - 0.5)(3 - 1)² = 0.5 × 4 = 2 (not equal). Solving numerically, x ≈ 0.75 , [C] = 3 × 0.75 = 2.25 M .
