Predict the effect of an eightfold pressUre increase on the equillbrium composition of the reaction 3 Nalg) + H2lg) 2 NaHlg)​

Sagot :

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Given the reaction;

3N2(g) + H2(g) = 2N3H(g).

We know that when a constraint is imposed on a reaction system in equilibrium, the equilibrium position will shift in such a way as to annul the constraint.

In this case, when the pressure is increased eightfold, the equilibrium position will shift towards the direction where there is the least total volumes.

In this particular reaction, the forward reaction has the least total volumes and is favoured by an eightfold increase in pressure.

Hence, when the pressure is increased eightfold, more N3H(g) is obtained.
