Solution
For the reaction 12N2(g)+32H2(g)⇌NH3(g) logKp=−ΔGo2.303RT
logKp=−(−16.5×103J/mol)2.303×8.314J/mol/K×298K
logKp=2.8917
Kp=779.41 For the reaction N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g) Kp is equal to the square of the value of Kp for the first reaction. It is equal to (779.41)2=6.07×105 ΔGo=−2.303×8.314J/mol/K×298Klog6.07×105 ΔGo=−32998Jmol−1 ΔGo=−32.9kJmol−1 (∵1kJ=1000J)
