Question
A mixture of N2, H2, and NH3 is allowed to equilibrate in a piston as shown below.
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ? 2 NH3 (g)
The external pressure is then increased, and the sample is allowed to re-equilibrate. Which piston contains more NH3 molecules?
A. More NH3 in initial equilibrium
B. Equal NH3 in both states
C. More NH3 in final equilibrium

Which piston contains more NH3 molecules? A. More NH3 in initial equilibrium B. Equal NH3 in both states C. More NH3 in final equilibriumExplanation / Answer
With higher pressure the system wants to sghift to a lesser volume side that is the forward reaction. Therefore more NH3 in the final solution
