Chemistry · L3 · Le Chatelier's principle — ammonia equilibrium

Three stresses on the N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ equilibrium — adding reactant, raising temperature, and increasing pressure — and which way each one pushes the balance.

N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 (exothermic) at equilibriumAdd more N2Raise the temperatureIncrease the pressureForward rate risesReverse rate rises: heat behaves like a productSide with fewer gas molecules is favoured: 2 mol beats 4 molShifts toward products: more NH3 formsShifts toward reactants: less NH3
