Question

Ammonia is created using the Haber-Bosch process:

A reaction vessel is used to combine the nitrogen and hydrogen gas until the vessel is at equilibrium.

What will happen to the system if ammonia is removed from the vessel?

Answer

When a system is at equilibrium, it is possible to predict how a system will respond to sudden changes using Le Chatelier's principle. In this scenario, ammonia has been removed from the system. This will cause the reaction to produce more ammonia, and proceed to the right in order to reestablish equilibrium.
