Step 1: The equilibrium reaction is
N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)ΔH=92kJ/molN_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \quad \Delta H = -92 \, kJ/mol

Step 2: An increase in pressure is applied to the system at constant temperature.

Step 3: By Le Chatelier's principle, the equilibrium shifts to oppose the change and minimize the pressure increase.

Step 4: Total pressure depends on the number of moles of gas (at constant volume and temperature).
Formula: Shift favors the side with fewer moles of gas.

Step 5: Moles of gas:
Reactants: 1(N2)+3(H2)=41 \, (N_2) + 3 \, (H_2) = 4 moles
Products: 2(NH3)=22 \, (NH_3) = 2 moles

Fewer moles on the product side.

Step 6: Equilibrium shifts to the right (forward), producing more NH3(g)\mathrm{NH_3(g)} and reducing total moles from 4 to 2.

Effect: The equilibrium position shifts to the right, increasing the yield of ammonia (NH3\mathrm{NH_3}).
Equilibrium shifts right (favors products)
