The correct Answer is:
To determine which condition will shift the equilibrium of the reaction \( N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \leftrightarrow 2NH_3(g) + \text{heat} \) in the forward direction, we can apply Le Chatelier's Principle. This principle states that if an external change is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system will adjust itself to counteract that change and restore a new equilibrium. Let's analyze each option step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze the first option - Increasing the concentration of \( NH_3(g) \) - When we increase the concentration of \( NH_3(g) \), the system will respond by shifting the equilibrium to the left (backward direction) to reduce the concentration of \( NH_3 \). - **Conclusion**: This option does not shift the equilibrium in the forward direction. ### Step 2: Analyze the second option - Decreasing the pressure - Decreasing the pressure favors the side of the reaction with more moles of gas. In this reaction, we have 4 moles of reactants (1 mole of \( N_2 \) and 3 moles of \( H_2 \)) and 2 moles of products (2 moles of \( NH_3 \)). - Since there are more moles on the reactant side, decreasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the left (backward direction). - **Conclusion**: This option does not shift the equilibrium in the forward direction. ### Step 3: Analyze the third option - Decreasing the concentration of \( N_2(g) \) and \( H_2(g) \) - Decreasing the concentration of reactants \( N_2 \) and \( H_2 \) will cause the system to shift in the direction that increases their concentration, which is the forward direction (to produce more \( NH_3 \)). - However, since we are decreasing the concentration of the reactants, it will not favor the forward reaction effectively. - **Conclusion**: This option does not effectively shift the equilibrium in the forward direction. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth option - Increasing the pressure and decreasing temperature - Increasing the pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas. In this reaction, the product side has 2 moles (2 \( NH_3 \)) compared to 4 moles on the reactant side. Thus, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium to the right (forward direction). - Decreasing the temperature favors exothermic reactions. Since the formation of \( NH_3 \) releases heat (exothermic), lowering the temperature will also shift the equilibrium to the right (forward direction). - **Conclusion**: This option shifts the equilibrium in the forward direction. ### Final Answer: Based on the analysis, the correct condition that shifts the equilibrium in the forward direction is: **Option 4: By increasing the pressure and decreasing temperature.** ---
