Question

For the following reaction:

NH4Cl(s) ↔ NH3(g) + HCl(g) ΔH = +42.1 kilocalories

Suppose the substances in the reaction above are at equilibrium at 600K in volume V and at pressure P. State whether the partial pressure of NH3(g) will have increased, decreased, or remained the same when equilibrium is reestablished after each of the following disturbances of the original system. Some solid NH4Cl remains in the flask at all times. Justify each answer with a one-or-two sentence explanation.

(e) A quantity of gaseous NH3 is added.

The answer for e states that the partial pressure of NH3 is increase, which is a bit confusing. The explanation is that some of the the added NH3 reacts with HCl to relieve stress but only part of NH3 reacts. Can you explain how and where this is implied in the reaction or question. Would appreciate a lot of clarification
