On increasing the pressure, in which direction will the gas phase reaction proceed to re establish equilibrium, is predicted by applying the Le Chatelier’s principle. Consider the reaction: N2(g) +3H2(g) leftharpoons 2NH3(g) Which of the following is correct, if the total pressure at which the equilibrium is established, is increased without changing the temperature?

Question

On increasing the pressure, in which direction will the gas phase reaction proceed to re establish equilibrium, is predicted by applying the Le Chatelier’s principle. Consider the reaction: N2(g) +3H2(g) leftharpoons 2NH3(g) Which of the following is correct, if the total pressure at which the equilibrium is established, is increased without changing the temperature? (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

Equilibrium constant (K) is temperature dependent as temperature is constant thus, K will remain same.

$K$ will remain same

$K$ will decrease

$K$ will increase

$K$ will increase initially and decrease when pressure is very high

Equilibrium constant $(K)$ is temperature dependent as temperature is constant thus, $K$ will remain same.
