Solution

The correct option is B 12×102
The equilibrium reaction is 2NH3(g)N2(g)+3H2(g).
The concentrations of various species are given in the following table.

But [N2]=0.2=x.
Hence, the equilibrium concentrations of ammonia, nitrogen and hydrogen are 0.6M, 0.2M and 0.6M respectively.
The expression for the equilibrium constant will be Kc=[N2][H2]3[NH23]=0.2×(0.63)(0.6)2=12×102.
