Question

Which is false about the equilibrium N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 + x kJ ?

• a On raising the temperature, yield of NH3 is reduced
• b On adding inert gas at constant pressure, the yield of NH3 is reduced
• c On adding inert gas at constant volume, the yield of NH3 is increased
• d On increasing the pressure, yield of NH3 is increased
• e On increasing the concentrations of N2 and H2 yield of NH3 is increased

Answer 1

Dear Student,
(c) is false statement .
adding inert gas at constant volume has no effct on the equilibrium because on adding inert gas total pressure of the system increases but no effect on the concentration (n/V) takes place hence the equilibrium remains unaffected.
