Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here we have a question asking which of the following will not affect the concentration of ammonia in the following exit thermic reaction at equilibrium nitrogen gash plus three hydrogen gasses forms to ammonia gasses. So a increasing temperature will shift away from added heat will decrease the concentration of ammonia B, decreasing volume, four moles of gas reacting and two moles of gas product will increase pressure. Will shift reaction to less gas moles will increase ammonia, see increasing pressure, increasing pressure will also shift the reaction to less gas animals will increase ammonia D adding a catalyst to the reaction mixture catalyst, increased rate of reaction but not the concentration of the product of reaction, so it will not change in the amount. So our answer here is the thank you for watching. Bye.
