Semester exam questions! oof!

1. given the following equation: n2 (g) + 3 h2 (g) ↔ 2nh3 (g) δh = -92 kj/mol
a. is this reaction exothermic or endothermic?
b. what direction will the equilibrium shift if nitrogen gas is removed?
c. what direction will the equilibrium shift if the temperature is lowered?
d. what direction will the equilibrium shift if ammonia (nh3) is added?
e. what principle you answer b-d?

e. I will answer the last one first - the equation describes a reversible reaction and the equilibrium is determined by the Le Châtelier's principle.

a. It is exothermic.

b. It will shift towards the reactants side (N2+H2).

c. It will shift towards the product side (NH3).

d.  It will shift towards the reactants side (N2+H2).

a non redox reaction occurs when there is not a transfer of electrons. for redox reactions, which are reduction-oxidation reactions, a change in the oxidation number occurs. elements that are reduced gain electrons, and elements that are oxidized lose electrons.
