A reversible chemical reaction is at equilibrium: N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) + heat.
If the pressure on the system is increased by decreasing the volume at a constant temperature, how will the system respond?
- The value of the equilibrium constant K_eq will increase.
- The concentration of NH₃ decreases to relieve the pressure.
- The equilibrium shifts to the left, increasing N₂ and H₂.
- The equilibrium shifts to the right, increasing NH₃ production.
