Equilibria — practice question

At room temperature, lithium reacts with nitrogen to produce solid $\text{Li}_3\text{N}$. As shown, three vessels of equal volume are linked by taps A and B. Initially, A and B are closed; the left-hand vessel is evacuated, the middle vessel contains the reaction shown at equilibrium, and the right-hand vessel holds lithium only. Which action would result in the equilibrium mixture containing the greatest amount of ammonia?

  • AKeep both A and B closed.
  • BOpen both A and B.
  • COpen A only.
  • DOpen B only.
