Reversible reactions and equilibrium — practice question

Nitrogen combines with hydrogen to produce ammonia when an iron catalyst is present. This reaction can proceed in both directions. $\text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(g)$ Which statement about this reaction is correct?

  • AThe iron catalyst decreases the activation energy of only the forward reaction.
  • BWhen equilibrium is reached, the forward reaction has stopped.
  • CWhen the pressure changes, the concentration of ammonia at equilibrium remains constant.
  • DNitrogen and hydrogen never completely convert to ammonia.
