Concept introduction:
The longest carbon chain containing the double bond to be chosen. Based on the name of the parent compound–the alkene name ends with the suffix–alkene. The chain is to be numbered from the end that gives the lowest number to the carbon in double bond. Substituents are to be numbered according to their positions in the chain and listed alphabetically. The position of the double bond is indicated by giving the number of the first alkene carbon before the name of the parent name. If more than one double bond is present, their positions are indicated with the suffixes -diene, -triene and so on. The isomer that has the higher ranked groups on each carbon are on the same side of the double bond is said to have Z configuration. If the higher ranked groups are on opposite sides, the alkene is said to have E configuration.

If there's more than one major product, you can draw them in any arrangement you like. Be sure you use wedge and dash bonds if necessary, for example to distinguish between major products with different stereochemistry. If there will be no products because there will be no significant reaction, just check the box under the drawing area and leave it blank.

In other words, if you said the pressure of N2 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding H2? Similarly, if you said the pressure of N will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding H₂?
