The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the dissociation of ammonia (NH₃) in the presence of an inert gas (helium) at equilibrium, we will follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a chemical equilibrium involving nitrogen (N₂), hydrogen (H₂), and ammonia (NH₃). - The equilibrium reaction can be represented as: \[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \] 2. **Introduction of Helium Gas**: - Helium gas, which is an inert gas, is introduced into the system. - The introduction of helium increases the total pressure in the vessel. 3. **Constant Temperature and Volume**: - It is specified that the temperature and volume of the system remain constant. - This is crucial because it affects how the system responds to changes in pressure. 4. **Applying Le Chatelier's Principle**: - Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions (such as concentration, temperature, or pressure), the system will adjust to counteract that change and restore a new equilibrium. - However, the addition of an inert gas at constant volume does not change the partial pressures of the reactants and products involved in the equilibrium reaction. 5. **Effect of Inert Gas on Equilibrium**: - Since helium does not react with any of the components in the equilibrium and does not change the partial pressures of N₂, H₂, or NH₃, the equilibrium position remains unchanged. - Therefore, the dissociation of ammonia (NH₃) will not be affected by the addition of helium gas. 6. **Conclusion**: - The dissociation of ammonia remains unaltered despite the increase in total pressure due to the addition of helium gas. ### Final Answer: According to Le Chatelier's principle, the dissociation of ammonia (NH₃) will not be affected by the introduction of helium gas at constant temperature and volume. ---
