On increasing the pressure, in which dirction will the gas phase reaction proceed to re-establish equilibrium, is predicated by applying the Le Chatelier's principle. Consider the reaction.
`N_(2)(g)+3H_(2)hArr 2NH_(3)(g)`
Which of the following is correct, if the total pressure at which the equlibrium is established, is increased without changing the temperature ?

Options

A. K will remain same
B. K will decrease
C. K will increase
D. K will increase initially and decrease when pressure is very high

Answer

A

Explanation

In the reaction, `N_(g) +3H_2(g) hArr 2NH_3(g)`
If the total pressure, at which the equilibrium is established, is increased without changing the temperature, K will remain same K changes only with change in temperature.
