Coal, which is primarily carbon, can be converted to natural gas, primarily CH₄, by the exothermic reaction: C(s) + 2 H₂(g) ⇌ CH₄(g) Which disturbance will favor CH₄ at equilibrium?
a. adding more C to the reaction mixture b. adding more H₂ to the reaction mixture d. lowering the volume of the reaction mixture f. adding neon gas to the reaction mixture

Hi everyone here we have a question asking us which of the following will increase the formation of ammonia in the following eggs are thermic reaction at equilibrium Nitrogen gasses plus three hydrogen gasses, forms to ammonia gasses a increasing into in the reaction. This is increasing the reactant so that will increase the amount of ammonia be decreasing hydrogen in the reaction. That is decreasing a reactant so that will decrease the ammonia see decreasing into in the reactant and that is the same as above. It is decreasing the reactant will decrease the amount of ammonia Removing NH three as it forms in the reaction, decreasing the product shifts the reaction to the right so it will increase ammonia. So our answer here is a ND increasing into in the reaction and removing ammonia as it forms in the reaction. Thank you for watching. Bye.
