For the equilibrium reaction 3H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g), if the equilibrium shifts left when concentration of NH₃ is increased, explain conceptually why that occurs using Le Chatelier’s principle.
💡 Hint: Think about balancing the equation to counteract the added product.
Describe how temperature changes would affect the equilibrium of an endothermic reaction like A ⇌ B + heat. If the temperature is raised, what happens?
💡 Hint: Refer to how endothermic reactions absorb heat to shift equilibrium.
