A sealed container holds an equilibrium mixture of nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia at constant temperature.
Some of the ammonia molecules are swapped for the same number of ammonia molecules made with the heavier isotope nitrogen-15, 15NH3\mathrm{^{15}NH_{3}}15NH3, so the amount of each substance is unchanged. Nitrogen-15 reacts in exactly the same way as nitrogen-14.
After some time, which is observed?
15N\mathrm{^{15}N}15N is found only in the ammonia, and the amount of ammonia is unchanged
15N\mathrm{^{15}N}15N is found in the nitrogen and the ammonia, and the amount of ammonia is unchanged
15N\mathrm{^{15}N}15N is found in the nitrogen and the ammonia, and the amount of ammonia has fallen
15N\mathrm{^{15}N}15N is found only in the nitrogen, and the amount of ammonia has fallen
