The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem regarding the equilibrium shift in the reaction \( N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \) upon the addition of an inert gas at constant pressure, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Reaction The given reaction involves nitrogen and hydrogen gases reacting to form ammonia. The balanced equation shows: - Reactants: 1 mole of \( N_2 \) and 3 moles of \( H_2 \) (total 4 moles) - Products: 2 moles of \( NH_3 \) ### Step 2: Identify the Effect of Inert Gas Addition According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium experiences a change (like the addition of an inert gas), the system will adjust to counteract that change and restore equilibrium. ### Step 3: Analyze the Change in Moles When an inert gas is added at constant pressure: - The total pressure of the system increases, but the partial pressures of the reactants and products remain unchanged. - Since the addition of an inert gas does not participate in the reaction, it does not change the concentrations of the reactants or products. ### Step 4: Determine the Direction of Equilibrium Shift At constant pressure, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with more moles of gas. In this reaction: - Reactants: 4 moles (1 mole of \( N_2 \) + 3 moles of \( H_2 \)) - Products: 2 moles (2 moles of \( NH_3 \)) Since there are more moles of gas on the reactant side (4 moles) compared to the product side (2 moles), the equilibrium will shift towards the left side (the reactants). ### Conclusion The addition of a small amount of inert gas at constant pressure will shift the equilibrium towards the left side (the reactants). ### Final Answer The equilibrium will shift towards the left-hand side. ---
