Solution

The correct option is C 1.6M
The equilibrium reaction is N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g).
Following table list the number of moles of various species.

At equilibrium, the number of moles of nitrogen is 2x=0.4 or x=1.6.
Hence at equilibrium number of moles of hydrogen are 83x=83(1.6)=3.2.
Thus 3.2 moles of hydrogen are present in 2 L.
Hence, equilibrium concentration of hydrogen is 3.22=1.6M.
