Question
For the equilibrium reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g), how many gaseous molecules are there on each side of the equation?
Answer
There are 4 gaseous molecules on the left side (1 N2 and 3 H2) and 2 gaseous molecules on the right side (2 NH3).
Explanation
This question assesses the student's ability to identify and count gaseous molecules in an equilibrium reaction, which is crucial for applyingLe chatelier's Principle regardingpressure changes.
Common mistake
Counting Gaseous Molecules Incorrectly
Students often miscount the number of gaseous molecules on one side of the equilibrium equation, leading to incorrect predictions about the effect of pressure changes.
Carefully identify and count only the gaseous molecules on each side of the equation, ensuring to exclude any solids or liquids.
