One mole of N₂ , 2 moles of H₂ and 3 moles of ammonia are taken in a one-litre flask.
The equilibrium concentration of ammonia is
we know, the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen is given by,
N₂ + 3H₂ ⇔ 2NH₃
at t = 0, 1 mol/L 2 mol/L 3mol/L
at eqlm (1 - x) 2 - 3x 3 + 2x
so equilibrium constant, Kc = [NH₃]²/[N₂][H₂]³
here given, equilibrium constant for the decomposition of ammonia = 1.89 × 10¯¹ mol²L¯²
∴ Kc = 1/(1.89 × 10¯¹) = 10/1.89 L²mol¯²
⇒10/8.9 = (3 + 2x)²/{(1 - x)(2 - 3x)³}
⇒10(1 - x)(2 - 3x)³ = 1.89(3 + 2x)²
After solving it we get, x ≈ 0.2 and 1.47 but x ≠ 1.47 because concentration of nitrogen at equilibrium (1 - x) = 1 - 1.47 = -0.47 which is impossible.
∴ x ≈ 0.2
Hence the concentration of ammonia at equilibrium = 3 + 2x = 3 + 2 × 0.2 = 3.4 Mol/L.
