jfraser · Answer

what do you know about equilibrium reactions and leChatelier's principle?

anonymous · Answer

I get that is a reactant is removed it sifts to that side and vice verse but I don't understand weather or not Hydrogen is a reactant or a product.

jfraser · Answer

the way the reaction is written, what side of the arrow is the hydrogen on?

anonymous · Answer

the left side i think?

anonymous · Answer

I just get confused because H is on both sides

mathmate · Answer

What are on the left side are reactants, and what are on the right side are the products.

jfraser · Answer

there's hydrogen IN the $NH_3$, but it's asking about HYDROGEN $H_2$

jfraser · Answer

because it says "hydrogen gas", that's the $H_2(g)$

anonymous · Answer

so the answer is C right?

jfraser · Answer

it is

anonymous · Answer

Thank you!

mathmate · Answer

Hydrogen means the elemental hydrogen, not a part of a compound.
Also recall that equilibrium shifts in the direction to resist the change.
