Question

In the chemical reaction, \[ \text{N}_2 + 3\text{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3 \text{ at equilibrium point.} \] Which statement is correct?

• A. Equal volumes of N\(_2\) and H\(_2\) are reacting
• B. Equal moles of N\(_2\) and H\(_2\) are reacting
• C. The reaction has stopped.
• D. The same amount of ammonia is formed, as it is decomposed into N\(_2\) and H\(_2\)

Hint:

At equilibrium, the amounts of products and reactants remain constant, with forward and reverse reactions occurring at the same rate.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

At equilibrium, the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. Hence, the amounts of ammonia formed are equal to the amounts being decomposed back into nitrogen and hydrogen, maintaining a dynamic equilibrium. Thus, the correct answer is Option (D).
