Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Chemical Reactions (Section 5 - No. 24)

Which of the following will shift the equilibrium to the right in the reaction: N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g) (exothermic)?
Increasing the temperature
Increasing the pressure
Removing ammonia (NH₃)
Adding a catalyst

Explanation

Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer gas molecules (product). Removing product also shifts the equilibrium to the right to compensate.
