Solution
The correct option is BQ<Kc Given reaction is N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)Q=[NH3]2[N2][H2]3
the equilibrium constant for this reaction is Kc=[NH3]2[N2][H2]3 Δn=2−4=−2
At equilibrium Q=Kc
So, the reaction will shift in forward direction if Q<Kc or the concentration of the reactant is less than reactants
