The Haber process produces ammonia as shown in the equilibrium equation below.



N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) + energy



The Haber process is occurring in a reaction chamber. When equilibrium is reached in the reaction chamber, the volume of the chamber is decreased. This increases the pressure inside the reaction chamber. What will happen as a result of this increase in pressure?

A

The reverse reaction will happen more slowly than the forward reaction.

B

The forward reaction will happen more slowly than the reverse reaction.

C

Only the forward reaction will happen.

D

Only the reverse reaction will happen.
