Detailed Solution

The given reaction is,

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

This is an endothermic reaction. 

The decrease in number of moles of N2 gas initially present at equilibrium in a closed vessel sees following changes;

(2) Decrease in volume of container

(3) Increase in total pressure

(6) Addition of small amount ofH2O (l) in vessel

(7) Addition of H2 gas in vessel at constant volume

(8) Removing some moles of NH3

[(2),(3),(6),(7),(8)]
