The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the reaction and the effects of adding helium gas at equilibrium. The reaction is: \[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) + 22.4 \text{ kcal} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction and Moles of Gases:** - The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of nitrogen gas (N₂) reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas (H₂) to produce 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃). - Total moles of reactants = 1 (N₂) + 3 (H₂) = 4 moles. - Total moles of products = 2 (NH₃) = 2 moles. 2. **Understand the Effect of Adding Helium Gas:** - Helium is an inert gas and does not react with the components of the equilibrium system. - When helium is added at constant pressure, the volume of the system increases. 3. **Le Chatelier's Principle:** - According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions (such as volume), the equilibrium will shift to counteract that change. - Since the volume increases, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with more moles of gas. 4. **Determine the Direction of the Shift:** - The reactants side has 4 moles of gas, while the products side has only 2 moles. - Therefore, the equilibrium will shift to the left (towards the reactants) to increase the number of moles of gas. 5. **Concentration Changes:** - As the equilibrium shifts to the left, the concentration of nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) will increase. - Conversely, the concentration of ammonia (NH₃) will decrease. 6. **Evaluate the Statements:** - **Statement 1:** Concentration of nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia gas decreases. (Incorrect) - **Statement 2:** Moles of ammonia decrease. (Cannot be definitively stated without volume information; Incorrect) - **Statement 3:** The extent of cooling depends on the amount of helium gas added. (Incorrect) - **Statement 4:** Concentration of nitrogen and hydrogen increases and the concentration of ammonia decreases. (Correct) ### Final Conclusion: The correct statement is that the concentration of nitrogen and hydrogen increases while the concentration of ammonia decreases.
