Answer:
The value of K for this reaction is 1.69
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Moles of NH3 = 4.0 moles
Volume of the container = 2.0 L
At the equilibrium 2.0 moles NH3 remains
Step 2: The balanced equation
2 NH3(g) → N2(g) + 3H2(g)
Step 3: Initial number of moles
NH3: 4.0 moles
N2: 0 moles
H2: 0 moles
Step 4: Number of moles at the equilibrium
NH3: 2.0 moles
This means there reacts 2.0 moles of NH3
For 2 moles of NH3 we have 1 mol of N2 and 3 moles of H2
There will be produced 1 mol of N2 and 3 moles of H2
Step 5: Calculate molarity
Molarity = moles / volume
Molarity of NH3 = 2.0 moles / 2.0 L = 1 M
Molarity of N2 = 1.0 mol / 2.0 L = 0.5 M
Molarity of H2 = 3.0 mol / 2.0 L = 1.5 M
Kc = ([H2]³[N2]) / [NH3]²
Kc = (1.5³ * 0.5) / (1²)
Kc = 1.69
The value of K for this reaction is 1.69
