Question

A 10-fold increase in pressure on the reaction, $N_2\left(g\right)+3H_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2N{H}_3\left(g\right)$ at equilibrium, results in ........ in $K_p$.

• A. no change
• B. increase
• C. decrease
• D. none

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

no change

A 10-fold increase in pressure on the reaction,
$N_2(g{)}^{\oplus }+3H_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2N{H}_3(g)$ at equilibrium, results is no change in $K_p$. The equilibrium constant depends only upon temperature change.
