Q: Which of the following statements best describes a Brønsted-Lowry acid?

It is a substance that donates an H\textsuperscript{+} ion in water.

Q: Given the equilibrium: \newline $$\mathrm{N}_2(g) + 3\mathrm{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\mathrm{NH}_3(g)$$ \newline What will happen if more NH\textsubscript{3} is added to the system?

The equilibrium will shift to the left, producing more N\textsubscript{2} and H\textsubscript{2}.
