The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the ratio \( \frac{K_{P_2}}{K_{P_1}} \) given the two equilibrium reactions and the initial conditions. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understanding the Initial Conditions We have two reactions: 1. \( N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_{P_1} \) 2. \( N_2(g) + 2H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons N_2H_4(g) \) with equilibrium constant \( K_{P_2} \) Initially, the molar ratio of \( N_2 \) to \( H_2 \) is 9:13. We can express the initial moles of \( N_2 \) and \( H_2 \) in terms of a variable \( x \): - Let the initial moles of \( N_2 = 9x \) - Let the initial moles of \( H_2 = 13x \) ### Step 2: Establishing the Equilibrium Pressures At equilibrium, we are given: - Total pressure \( P_{total} = 7P_0 \) - Pressure of \( NH_3 = P_0 \) - Pressure of \( H_2 = 2P_0 \) Let \( P_{N_2} \) be the pressure of \( N_2 \) and \( P_{N_2H_4} \) be the pressure of \( N_2H_4 \). We can express the total pressure as: \[ P_{total} = P_{N_2} + P_{H_2} + P_{NH_3} + P_{N_2H_4} \] Substituting the known pressures: \[ 7P_0 = P_{N_2} + 2P_0 + P_0 + P_{N_2H_4} \] This simplifies to: \[ P_{N_2} + P_{N_2H_4} = 4P_0 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] ### Step 3: Expressing the Changes in Pressure From the first reaction, we can denote the change in pressure due to the formation of \( NH_3 \) and \( N_2H_4 \): - Let the change in pressure for \( NH_3 \) be \( +P_0 \) - Let the change in pressure for \( N_2H_4 \) be \( +Z \) From the stoichiometry of the reactions: - For every 2 moles of \( NH_3 \) formed, 1 mole of \( N_2 \) is consumed, and 3 moles of \( H_2 \) are consumed. - For every mole of \( N_2H_4 \) formed, 1 mole of \( N_2 \) and 2 moles of \( H_2 \) are consumed. ### Step 4: Setting Up the Equations for \( K_{P_1} \) and \( K_{P_2} \) Using the equilibrium pressures, we can express \( K_{P_1} \) and \( K_{P_2} \): 1. For \( K_{P_1} \): \[ K_{P_1} = \frac{(P_{NH_3})^2}{(P_{N_2})(P_{H_2})^3} = \frac{(P_0)^2}{(P_{N_2})(2P_0)^3} = \frac{P_0^2}{P_{N_2} \cdot 8P_0^3} = \frac{1}{8P_{N_2}P_0} \] 2. For \( K_{P_2} \): \[ K_{P_2} = \frac{(P_{N_2H_4})}{(P_{N_2})(P_{H_2})^2} = \frac{(Z)}{(P_{N_2})(2P_0)^2} = \frac{Z}{4P_{N_2}} \] ### Step 5: Solving for the Ratio \( \frac{K_{P_2}}{K_{P_1}} \) Now we can find the ratio: \[ \frac{K_{P_2}}{K_{P_1}} = \frac{\frac{Z}{4P_{N_2}}}{\frac{1}{8P_{N_2}P_0}} = \frac{Z \cdot 8P_{N_2}P_0}{4P_{N_2}} = 2ZP_0 \] ### Step 6: Finding \( Z \) From Equation 1, we have \( P_{N_2} + P_{N_2H_4} = 4P_0 \). If we let \( P_{N_2H_4} = Z \), we can express \( P_{N_2} \) as: \[ P_{N_2} = 4P_0 - Z \] ### Conclusion To find \( \frac{K_{P_2}}{K_{P_1}} \), we need the value of \( Z \). However, we can express the final answer in terms of \( Z \): \[ \frac{K_{P_2}}{K_{P_1}} = 2ZP_0 \]
