7.21 Equilibrium constant, Kc for the reaction
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ⇌ 2NH3 (g) at 500 Kc is 0.061
At a particular time, the analysis shows that composition of the reaction mixture is 3.0 mol L–1 N2, 2.0 mol L–1 H2 and 0.5 mol L–1 NH3. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not in which direction does the reaction tend to proceed to reach equilibrium?
7.21 Equilibrium constant, Kc for the reaction
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) ⇌ 2NH3 (g) at 500 Kc is 0.061
At a particular time, the analysis shows that composition of the reaction mixture is 3.0 mol L–1 N2, 2.0 mol L–1 H2 and 0.5 mol L–1 NH3. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not in which direction does the reaction tend to proceed to reach equilibrium?
According to available data:
N2 = [3.0], H2 = [2.0], NH3 = [0.50]
Qc = [NH3]2 / [N2] [ H2]3
= [0.50]2 / [3.0] [ 2.0]3
= 0.25/24
= 0.0104.
Since the value of Qc is less than that of Kc (0.061), the reaction is not in a state of equilibrium. It will proceed in the forward direction till Qc becomes the same
