Question

In a 1.0-liter container there are, at equilibrium, 0.10 mole h2, 0.20 mole n2, and 0.40 mole nh3. what is the value of kc for this reaction at this temperature

Answer 1

The reaction involved here would be written as:

2N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3

The equilibrium constant of a reaction is the ratio of the concentrations of the products and the reactants when in equilibrium. The expression for the equilibrium constant of this reaction would be as follows:

Kc = [NH3]^2 / [N2]^2[H2]^3
Kc = 0.40^2 / (0.20)^2 (0.10)^3 
Kc = 4000
