How to determine degree of dissociation if no of moles are given are different and stoichiometry is different
Answers
Answer:
Dissociation in chemistry and biochemistry is a general process in which molecules (or ionic compounds such as salts, or complexes) separate or split into smaller particles such as atoms, ions, or radicals, usually in a reversible manner. For instance, when an acid dissolves in water, a covalent bond between an electronegative atom and a hydrogen atom is broken by heterolytic fission, which gives a proton (H+) and a negative ion. Dissociation is the opposite of association or recombination

Explanation:
Degree of Dissociation (\alpha)
The degree of dissociation of a substance is defined as the fraction of its molecules dissociating at a given time.
Let us consider the reaction,
2NH3 (g) \rightleftharpoons N2 (g) + 3H2 (g)
Let the initial moles of NH3(g) be ‘a’. Let x moles of NH3 dissociate at equilibrium.
Degree of dissociation (a) of NH3 is defined as the number of moles of NH3 dissociated per mole of NH3.
if x moles dissociate from ‘a’ moles of NH3, then, the degree of dissociation of NH3 would be x/a.
We can also look at the reaction in the following manner
