A 1.000 L vessel is filled with 1.000 mole of N2,2.000 moles of H2, and 3.000 moles of NH3. When the reaction N2(g) + 3 H2(g)⇀↽2 NH3(g) comes to equilibrium, it is observed that the concentration of NH3is 2.12 moles/L. What is the numerical value of the equilibrium constant Kc?

Answer:

The numerical value of equilibrium constant is 0.0560

Explanation:

Initial Concentration:

[tex][NH^3]= \frac{3mol}{1l}[/tex]  = 3M

[[tex]N_2[/tex]] = 1M

[[tex]H_2[/tex]] = 2 M

[tex]N_2 +3H_2 \rightleftarrows 2NH3[/tex]

at the end, [[tex]NH_3[/tex]] = 1.96 M

Thus the change is 3 - 1.96  = 1.04 M

Thus 1.04 moles of  reacted

By stoichiometry, 1.04 moles  ([tex]NH_3 \times\frac{1 mol N_2}{2 mol NH_3}[/tex]) = 0.52 mol created (in addition to 1 mol already in vessel)

By similar reasoning   = [tex]1.04 \times\frac{3}{2 }[/tex] 1.56 moles  created  

Final concentrations:

[[tex]NH_3[/tex]] = 1.96 M

[[tex]N_2[/tex]] = 0.52 + 1 = 1.52 M

[[tex]H^2[/tex]] = 1.56 + 2  = 3.56 M

[tex]K_c =[/tex] [tex]\frac{[NH^3]^2}{N^2[H^2]^3}[/tex]

[tex]K_c =[/tex]  [tex]\frac{1.96^2}{(1.52 )\times(3.56)^3}[/tex]

[tex]K_c =[/tex] 0.0560

Therefore, the numerical value of equilibrium constant is 0.0560
