The correct Answer is:
To determine how to favor the forward reaction in the equilibrium: \[ \text{NH}_4\text{HS}_{(s)} \rightleftharpoons \text{NH}_3_{(g)} + \text{H}_2\text{S}_{(g)} \] we need to analyze the effects of changing concentrations of the reactants and products according to Le Chatelier's Principle. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Reaction**: The reaction involves the solid ammonium hydrogen sulfide (NH₄HS) dissociating into gaseous ammonia (NH₃) and hydrogen sulfide (H₂S). 2. **Identify the Forward Reaction**: The forward reaction is the dissociation of NH₄HS into NH₃ and H₂S. To favor this reaction, we need to either increase the concentration of reactants or decrease the concentration of products. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1: Adding more NH₄HS**: Adding more solid NH₄HS does not affect the equilibrium position since solids do not influence the equilibrium concentrations. Therefore, this option does not favor the forward reaction. - **Option 2: Adding more NH₃**: Adding more NH₃ increases the concentration of one of the products. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, this would shift the equilibrium to the left (towards the reactants), thus not favoring the forward reaction. - **Option 3: Removing some NH₃ from the reaction mixture**: Removing NH₃ decreases the concentration of one of the products. This would shift the equilibrium to the right (towards the products), thus favoring the forward reaction. - **Option 4: Adding more H₂S**: Similar to adding NH₃, adding more H₂S increases the concentration of a product, which would shift the equilibrium to the left, not favoring the forward reaction. 4. **Conclusion**: The forward reaction can be favored by **removing some NH₃ from the reaction mixture**. This is the only option that effectively shifts the equilibrium to the right, promoting the formation of more products (NH₃ and H₂S). ### Final Answer: The forward reaction can be favored by **removing some NH₃ from the reaction mixture**.
