Interpretation: The effect of adding ammonia,
Concept introduction: According to LeChatlier's principle, when a dynamic equilibrium is subjected to a change in either concentration or temperature or pressure, then the position of equilibrium will shift in such a direction that it nullifies the change.
For example:
If concentration of A is increased by adding some more amount of A at equilibrium, then left side concentration is increasing, so to nullify this change, equilibrium shifts towards right side. Hence, forward reaction or formation of C is favoured in this case.
Answer to Problem 3E
The concentration of reactants will decrease and that of products will increase and hence, resulting in increase in
Explanation of Solution
The given equilibrium mixture equation is:
The addition of ammonia,
