The equilibrium constant for the formation of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen is 1.6 × 102. what is the form of the equilibrium constant?

Respuesta :

Answer: The expression for equilibrium constant is [tex]\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}[/tex]

Explanation: Equilibrium constant is the expression which relates the concentration of products and reactants preset at equilibrium at constant temperature. It is represented as [tex]k_c[/tex]

For a general reaction:

[tex]aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD[/tex]

The equilibrium constant is written as:

[tex]k_c=\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}[/tex]

Chemical reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

[tex]N_2+3H_3\rightleftharpoons 2NH_3[/tex]

[tex]k_c=1.6\times 10^2[/tex]

Expression for [tex]k_c[/tex] is:

[tex]k_c=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}[/tex]

[tex]1.6\times 10^2=\frac{[NH_3]^2}{[H_2]^3[N_2]}[/tex]
