Aydan Bernard · Answer 1

A) More NH3 (g) will form.

Explanation:

According to the Le Chatellier Principle if we remove product from a reaction which is in equilibrium, then the effect will to produce more product in order to replace what has been removed.

In this reaction also, on spraying liquid water, Ammonia being water soluble will be consumed. Hence, The reaction will shift in forward direction leading to more formation of Ammonia (NH3).

Hence option A will be correct.
