Which equilibrium shift occurs when increasing pressure during industrial Haber-Bosch?

A)Favors NH3 formation, lowers volume
B)Favors N2/H2 breakdown, rate slows
C)Rate unaffected due lack gas reactants
D)Equilibrium constant decreases significantly overall

💡 Explanation

Increasing pressure stresses total moles. Le Chatelier's principle applies because equilibrium shifts via collision theory favor side with fewer gas molecules, therefore ammonia production increases, rather than reactants, since equilibrium re-establishes at a reduced total volume.
