Answer:
The answer to the question is;
The equilibrium constant for the reaction is 0.278
Reversibility.
Explanation:
Initial concentration = 0.500 M N₂ and 0.800 M H₂
N₂ (g) + 3·H₂ (g) ⇔ 2·NH₃ (g)
One mole of nitrogen combines with three moles of hydrogen form 2 moles of ammonia
That is 1 mole of ammonia requires 3/2 moles of H₂ and 1/2 moles of N₂
0.150 M of ammonia requires 3/2×0.150 moles of H₂ and 1/2×0.150 moles of N₂
That is 0.150 M of ammonia requires 0.225 moles of H₂ and 0.075 moles of N₂
Therefore at equilibrium we have
Number of moles of Nitrogen = 0.500 M - 0.075 M = 0.425 M
Number of moles of Hydrogen = 0.800 M - 0.225 M = 0.575 M
Number of moles of Ammonia = 0.150 M
K =
= 0.278
The kind of reaction is a reversible one as the equilibrium constant is greater than 0.01 which as general guide, all components in a reaction with an equilibrium constant between the ranges of 0.01 and 100 will be present when equilibrium is reached and the chemical reaction will be reversible.
