Question

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+3H22NH3
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=0.381 mole/L
The concentration of NH3 at equilibrium = 2x =2×0.381=0.762mole/L
