A. There will be no effect on the equilibrium
B. Equilibrium will shift to the product and produce more NH3
C. The reaction will stop
D. Equilibrium will shift to the reactants and produce more H2

According to Le Chatelier's principle, if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, or pressure, the system will adjust to counteract the change and establish a new equilibrium.
In the reaction you provided:
\[ \text{N}_2 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3 \]
If more \( \text{N}_2 \) is added, the equilibrium will shift to the right (toward the products) to consume the excess \( \text{N}_2 \) and produce more \( \text{NH}_3 \).
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**B. Equilibrium will shift to the product and produce more NH3**.
