1 mole of N2 and 3 moles of H2 are placed in 1L vessel. Find the concentration of NH3 at equilibrium if the equilibrium constant (Kc) at 400K is 427. N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)
Open in App
Solution
Volume = 1 L
Temperature = 400 K
Equilibrium constant, Kc=427
The Net balanced chemical reaction is,
N2+3H2→2NH3
Initial concentration 1 2 0
At equilibrium (1-x) (3-3x) 2x
The expression for equilibrium constant is,
Kc=[NH3]2[N2][H2]3
By rearranging the terms, we get the value of x.
x=0.381mole/L
The concentration of NH3 at equilibrium =2x=2×0.381=0.762mole/L
