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 2−x=0.4 or x=1.6. Hence at equilibrium number of moles of hydrogen are 8−3x=8−3(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.
