A mixture of `1.57 mol` of `N_(2), 1.92 mol` of `H_(2)` and `8.13 mol` of `NH_(3)` is introduced into a `20 L` reaction vessel at `500 K`. At this temperature, the equilibrium constant `K_(c )` for the reaction `N_(2)(g)+3H_(2)(g) hArr 2NH_(3)(g)` is `1.7xx10^(2)`. Is the reaction mixture at equilibrium? If not, what is the direction of the net reaction?A. ForwardB. BackwardC. At equilibriumD. Data is insufficient |

Answer» Correct Answer - B The reaction is : `N_(2(g))+3H_(2(g))hArr2NH_(3(g))` `Q_(c)=([NH_(3)]^(2))/([N_(2)][H_(2)]^(3))` `=(((8.13)/(20)"mol L"^(-1))^(2))/(((1.57)/(20)"mol L"^(-1))((1.92)/(20)"mol L"^(-1))^(3))=2.38xx10^(3)` As `Q_(c)!=K_(c)`, the reaction mixture is not in equilibrium. As `Q_(c)gtK_(c)`, the net reaction will be in the backward direction. |
