Decreasing the concentration of nitrogen gas  N2  in the reaction N2 g  + 3H2 g   2NH3 g  at constant temperature and pressure will affect the equilibrium position according to Le Chatelier's principle. Le Chatelier's principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, or pressure, the system will adjust the equilibrium position to counteract the change.In this case, when the concentration of N2 is decreased, the equilibrium will shift to the left to counteract the change and produce more N2. This means that the reaction will consume more hydrogen gas  H2  and ammonia gas  NH3  to produce more nitrogen gas  N2 . As a result, the concentration of H2 and NH3 will decrease, while the concentration of N2 will increase until a new equilibrium position is established.
