Question

The equation for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is shown below. What is the formula for the equilibrium constant, Kc? {Hint, I’m just looking for letters/symbols, not numbers.}
H2(g) + N2(g) ⇌ NH3(g)

Answer 1

First, make sure to balance your equation.

3H2(g) + N2(g) ⇄ 2NH3(g)

Now, you can write your Kc expression. Remember that Kc is products over reactants, and the exponent for each product or reactant is based on its coefficient.

Kc = [NH3]^2 / [H2]^3[N2]
