5.
Now, imagine that the volume of the container increases from 10.0 L to
50.0 L. Initially, there will be the same number of moles of each of the
gases that were present at equilibrium. However, they are now in a larger
volume, so their concentrations will change.
a)
Determine the new concentrations of N
, H
and NH
.

[N
] = _____
2
[H
] = _____
2
[NH
] = _____

b)
Using these new initial concentrations, determine the value of Q,
the reaction quotient
p
Q = [product]
=
i
r
[reactant]
i
c)
Compare Q to K. Which way will the reaction proceed, under these
new experimental conditions?
d)
Compare the number of moles of gas on the reactant and product
sides of the equation.
n
= _____
n
= _____
reactant
product
Increasing the volume of the system shifts the equilibrium toward
the reactants / products, which has a larger / smaller number of
moles of gas.
