Question

The chemical reaction N2(g) + 3 H2(g) ↔ 2 NH3(g) is at equilibrium. An experimenter injects a small amount of N2 into the reaction chamber. What happens to the forward reaction rate right after the injection of the N2? What happens to the reverse reaction rate right after the injection of the N2? What happens to the forward reaction rate after the injection of the N2 until equilibrium is re-established? What happens to the reverse reaction rate after the after the injection of the N2until equilibrium is re-established? When equilibrium is established, what is the relationship between the forward and the reverse reaction rate?

Answer 1

at injectionk, forward increases, reverse remains same, until equilibrium it increases in the forward, after injection, the reverse starts to increase as the products are increased, at equilibrium the rates are equal in both directions.
