[Maximum number: 1]

When nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas are allowed to react in a closed container the following equilibrium is established.

N2( g)+3H2( g)2NH3( g)ΔH=92.6 kJ\mathrm{N}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3}(\mathrm{~g}) \quad \Delta H=-92.6 \mathrm{~kJ}

Define the term weak base according to the Brønsted-Lowry theory.
