7.12. A mixture of 1.57 mol of N2, 1.92 mol of H2 and 8.13 mol of NH3 is introduced into a 20 L reaction vessel at 500 K. At this temperature, the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction
N2?(g) + 3H2? (g) ? 2NH3? (g) is 1.7×102
Is this reaction at equilibrium? If not, what is the direction of net reaction?

According to the given equation, concentration quotient,
Qc = [NH3]2 / [N2] [ H2]3
= (8.13/20 mol L-1)2 / (1.57 / 20 mol L-1) x (1.92 / 20 mol L-1)3
= 2.38 x 103
The equilibrium constant (Kc) for the reaction = 1.7 x 10-2
As Qc ≠ Kc, the reaction is not in a state of equilibrium.
