Question
![**Equilibrium System Analysis**
Consider the following system at equilibrium where \( \Delta H^° = 111 \, \text{kJ} \), and \( K_c = 6.30 \), at 723 K:
\[ 2\text{NH}_3(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \]
If the volume of the equilibrium system is suddenly decreased at constant temperature:
1. **The value of \( K_c \)**
- Increases
- Decreases
- Remains the same
2. **The value of \( Q_c \)**
- Is greater than \( K_c \)
- Is equal to \( K_c \)
- Is less than \( K_c \)
3. **The reaction must**
- Run in the forward direction to reestablish equilibrium.
- Run in the reverse direction to reestablish equilibrium.
- Remain the same. It is already at equilibrium.
4. **The number of moles of \( \text{H}_2 \) will**
- Increase
- Decrease
- Remain the same
**Additional Notes:**
- **\( K_c \)** (equilibrium constant) depends only on temperature for a given reaction.
- **\( Q_c \)** is the reaction quotient, which helps predict the direction in which the reaction will proceed.
- Changes in volume affect the concentration of gases and can shift equilibrium according to Le Chatelier's principle.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3e5f0bee-bbde-421f-8347-e8b63f453811%2F12d7b551-372b-46d4-aafd-bf38f9e322dc%2F6h9npke_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

Expert Solution

Step 1
If the volume of a gaseous reaction is decreased, the pressure exerted by the molecules will increase. Thus, the effect of decrease of volume is equivalent to the effect of increase of pressure.
