For the Reaction 2 NH₃(g) N₂(g) + 3 H₂

question 160

Multiple Choice

For the reaction 2 NH₃(g) N₂(g) + 3 H₂ (g) , what would you expect if 0.6 atm of inert neon gas is added at constant volume to the equilibrium mixture of gases?

• A) Since neon is more dense than hydrogen, it would suppress the reverse reaction; thus, more hydrogen would be formed.
• B) The position of equilibrium would shift to the left.
• C) Because neon does not react with any of the other chemical species, it cannot change the equilibrium partial pressures of the reactants or products; therefore, the position of equilibrium will remain the same.
• D) Because neon is isoelectronic with ammonia, it would compete with ammonia in the forward reaction; therefore, the equilibrium would shift to the right.
• E) Neon acts as a catalyst for the reaction thereby lowering the activation energy for the forward reaction.
