### Chemical Equilibrium in Ammonia-Water Reaction

Consider the following reaction at equilibrium:
\[ \text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \leftrightarrow \text{NH}_4^+ + \text{OH}^- \]

#### Quiz Question:
Which of the following statements would be correct if the \( \text{NH}_3 \) was removed?

1. ○ The rate of formation of ammonia would stay the same
2. ○ The rate of formation of ammonia would decrease
3. ○ The rate of formation of hydroxide would stay the same
4. ○ Removing of the \( \text{NH}_3 \) is not possible as it violates the second law of thermodynamics
