Ammonia Under Pressure

Chemistry Level 1

Ammonia is a nitrogen compound that is commonly used in fertilizers. The synthesis of ammonia from hydrogen and nitrogen gas follows the chemical equation

N 2 ( g ) + 3 H 2 ( g ) 2 NH 3 ( g ) . \text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \longleftrightarrow 2\text{NH}_3(g).

Suppose we perform this reaction in a closed system and that it is at equilibrium. What will occur if we increase the pressure in the system?

More hydrogen and nitrogen gas will be formed. Nothing will occur. More ammonia will be formed.

The reaction will neutralize the change, less quantity of gas will give less pressure.
