N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) <--> 2NH3 (g) + energy
The reaction will shift (forward direction or reverse direction) in order to undo what we've done to it.
Pressure is increased. The system will shift to decrease the pressure. How can it do that? By moving to the side with the fewer mols. There are 4 mols on the left and 2 on the right; therefore, it will shift to the right.
N2 (g) + H2 (g) <--> NH3 (g) + energy
Name the direction of equilibrium shift
- The pressure of the system is increased.
- H2 is added to the system.
- The temperature of the system is decreased.

So for temperature, would it shift to the left?
If T is increased it will go to the left in order to use up the heat (energy) that has been added. Decreasing T will make it try to heat up so will go to the right.
