The overall charge of an atom is positive if the number of electrons is less than the number of protons. Electrons are negatively charged particles while protons are positively charged particles. If there are less electrons as compared to the number of protons in an atom, then naturally the overall charge of the atom would be positive since there are excess protons. Another case would be that the overall charge of an atom is negative if the number of electrons is greater than the number of protons. An atom having more electrons than the number of the protons present would lead to a negative value of the charge since there are excess electrons.

Answer : The partial pressure of N_2 and H_2 is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg

Explanation :

According to the Dalton's Law, the partial pressure exerted by component 'i' in a gas mixture is equal to the product of the mole fraction of the component and the total pressure.

Formula used :

p_i=X_i\times p_T

X_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}

So,

p_i=\frac{n_i}{n_T}\times p_T

where,

p_i = partial pressure of gas

X_i = mole fraction of gas

p_T = total pressure of gas

n_i = moles of gas

n_T = total moles of gas

The balanced decomposition of ammonia reaction will be:

2NH_3\rightarrow N_2+3H_2

Now we have to determine the partial pressure of N_2 and H_2

p_{N_2}=\frac{n_{N_2}}{n_T}\times p_T

Given:

n_{N_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg

p_{N_2}=\frac{1}{4}\times (866mmHg)=216.5mmHg

and,

p_{H_2}=\frac{n_{H_2}}{n_T}\times p_T

Given:

n_{H_2}=1\\\\n_{H_2}=3\\\\n_{T}=4\\\\p_T=866mmHg

p_{H_2}=\frac{3}{4}\times (866mmHg)=649.5mmHg

Thus, the partial pressure of N_2 and H_2 is, 216.5 mmHg and 649.5 mmHg
