The correct Answer is:
To determine the direction in which the equilibrium will shift in the ammonia formation process due to an increase in pressure, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: The formation of ammonia (NH3) can be represented by the following balanced chemical equation: \[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \] 2. **Count the Moles of Gases**: - On the **reactant side**, we have: - 1 mole of \(N_2\) and 3 moles of \(H_2\), totaling **4 moles** of gas. - On the **product side**, we have: - 2 moles of \(NH_3\), totaling **2 moles** of gas. 3. **Apply Le Chatelier's Principle**: According to Le Chatelier's principle, if the pressure of a system at equilibrium is increased, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that produces fewer moles of gas. 4. **Determine the Effect of Increased Pressure**: - Since the reactants have **4 moles** of gas and the products have **2 moles** of gas, increasing the pressure will shift the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas, which is the product side. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, due to the increase in pressure, the equilibrium will shift to the **forward direction**, favoring the formation of ammonia. ### Final Answer: The equilibrium will shift in the **forward direction** due to the increase in pressure. ---
