Question

Kp for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is 6.8?105 at 298K. calculate the Kp for decomposition of ammonia at the same temperature

Open in App
Solution

Dear student
The reaction of ammonia formation (forward reaction):
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ------->2NH3(g)
and the reaction for ammonia decomposition is (backward reaction):
2NH3(g) ---------> N2(g) + 3H2(g)
Given, Kp for forward reaction = 6.8*105
So, Kp for backward reaction is = 1/6.8*105
= 1.47 * 10-6
