Problem

A sealed vessel contains an equilibrium mixture for the exothermic reaction N2(g)+3 H2(g)⇌2 NH3(g)\text{N}_2(g)+3\,\text{H}_2(g)\rightleftharpoons 2\,\text{NH}_3(g) Which change is most likely to increase the equilibrium mole fraction of NH3\text{NH}_3 in the mixture? a) Adding an inert gas at constant volume, thereby increasing the total pressure. b) Introducing a catalyst while holding temperature and pressure constant. c) Decreasing the temperature while compressing the gas to raise the total pressure. d) Increasing the temperature while simultaneously compressing the gas to raise the total pressure.
