Question

What effect will spraying liquid water into the equilibrium given below have if NH3 is far more soluble in water than is N2 or H2?

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
A) More NH3(g) will form.
B) More H2(g) will form.
C) Less NH3(g) will form.
D) This will not affect the system.
E) More N2(g) will form.

Answer 1

A) More NH3(g) will form.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Le Chatellier Principle if we remove product from a reaction which is in equilibrium, then the effect will to produce more product in order to replace what has been removed.

In this reaction also , on spraying liquid water, Ammonia being water soluble will be consumed. Hence, The reaction will shift in forward direction leading to more formation of Ammonia (NH3).

Hence option A will be correct .
