The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the dissociation of ammonia (NH₃) into nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) and calculate the degree of dissociation, α, given the equilibrium pressure \( P_0 \) and the equilibrium constant \( K_p \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:** The dissociation of ammonia can be represented as: \[ 2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \] 2. **Define Initial Moles:** Assume we start with 1 mole of ammonia (NH₃). 3. **Calculate Moles at Equilibrium:** If the degree of dissociation is α, then: - Moles of NH₃ remaining = \( 1 - \alpha \) - Moles of N₂ formed = \( \frac{\alpha}{2} \) (since 2 moles of NH₃ produce 1 mole of N₂) - Moles of H₂ formed = \( \frac{3\alpha}{2} \) (since 2 moles of NH₃ produce 3 moles of H₂) 4. **Total Moles at Equilibrium:** The total moles at equilibrium will be: \[ \text{Total moles} = (1 - \alpha) + \frac{\alpha}{2} + \frac{3\alpha}{2} = 1 + \alpha \] 5. **Calculate Partial Pressures:** The partial pressures at equilibrium can be expressed as: - \( P_{NH_3} = \frac{(1 - \alpha)}{(1 + \alpha)} P_0 \) - \( P_{N_2} = \frac{\frac{\alpha}{2}}{(1 + \alpha)} P_0 = \frac{\alpha P_0}{2(1 + \alpha)} \) - \( P_{H_2} = \frac{\frac{3\alpha}{2}}{(1 + \alpha)} P_0 = \frac{3\alpha P_0}{2(1 + \alpha)} \) 6. **Write the Expression for \( K_p \):** The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) is given by: \[ K_p = \frac{P_{N_2} \cdot (P_{H_2})^3}{(P_{NH_3})^2} \] Substituting the partial pressures: \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{\alpha P_0}{2(1 + \alpha)}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{3\alpha P_0}{2(1 + \alpha)}\right)^3}{\left(\frac{(1 - \alpha) P_0}{(1 + \alpha)}\right)^2} \] 7. **Simplify the Expression:** Simplifying the expression gives: \[ K_p = \frac{\frac{\alpha P_0}{2(1 + \alpha)} \cdot \frac{27\alpha^3 P_0^3}{8(1 + \alpha)^3}}{\frac{(1 - \alpha)^2 P_0^2}{(1 + \alpha)^2}} \] This simplifies to: \[ K_p = \frac{27\alpha^4 P_0^2}{16(1 + \alpha)^2(1 - \alpha)^2} \] 8. **Approximate for Small α:** Since α is very small (α << 1), we can approximate \( 1 + \alpha \approx 1 \) and \( 1 - \alpha \approx 1 \): \[ K_p \approx \frac{27\alpha^4 P_0^2}{16} \] 9. **Set Equal to Given \( K_p \):** We know \( K_p = 27 \times 10^{-8} P_0^2 \). Setting the two expressions for \( K_p \) equal: \[ \frac{27\alpha^4 P_0^2}{16} = 27 \times 10^{-8} P_0^2 \] 10. **Solve for α:** Dividing both sides by \( P_0^2 \) and simplifying: \[ \frac{27\alpha^4}{16} = 27 \times 10^{-8} \] \[ \alpha^4 = \frac{16 \times 10^{-8}}{27} \] \[ \alpha^4 = \frac{16}{27} \times 10^{-8} \] Taking the fourth root: \[ \alpha = \sqrt[4]{\frac{16}{27} \times 10^{-8}} = 2 \times 10^{-2} = 0.02 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \alpha = 0.02 \]

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the dissociation of ammonia (NH₃) into nitrogen (N₂) and hydrogen (H₂) and calculate the degree of dissociation, α, given the equilibrium pressure \( P_0 \) and the equilibrium constant \( K_p \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Write the Balanced Chemical Equation:** The dissociation of ammonia can be represented as: \[ 2NH_3(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) ...
