AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the effects of pressure and temperature changes on the equilibrium of ammonia formation. Increasing pressure does not shift the equilibrium if the volume remains unchanged, as concentrations stay the same. However, lowering pressure shifts the equilibrium to the left due to a higher number of moles of gas on that side, according to Le Chatelier's principle. Adding water alters concentrations, thus affecting equilibrium, while increasing hydrogen concentration causes the equilibrium to shift right. Lastly, adding heat shifts the equilibrium left, prompting a discussion on the implications for the equilibrium constant relative to Kc.

The Attempt at a Solution


I looked at what the equilibrium would do to relieve the stress onto the system but my answer seems to be wrong.

What does increasing pressure do for the formation of ammonia?
 
1. the equilibrium will not shift, because while the total pressure will raise, the concentrations will still be the same (the same amount of mols of each gas per volume) since the volume did not change

2. it will shift to the left. there are 4 mols of gas on the left, and 2 mols of gas on the right side. when you lower the pressure, according to la chatelier's principle, the equilibrium will tend to conteract (ie, the pressure will try to go back up). in order for the pressure to go back up, the equilibrium shifts to the left because there are more mol of gas on the left

3. false, because when you add water, the concentrations will change, which effects the equilibrium

4. false, from, la chatelier's principle, in order to counteract the increase in H2 concentration, more H2 will react, meaning more I2 will react, meaning hte equilibrium shifts to the right

5. adding heat will make it shift to the left because that's how the extra heat would be counteracted. if it is shifting to the left, is the equilibrium constant be higher or lower than Kc?
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
