The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine the value of \( x \) in the equation that relates the heat of reaction at constant volume (\( \Delta U \)) and the heat of reaction at constant pressure (\( \Delta H \)). The reaction given is: \[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g) \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reaction**: The reaction involves nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas reacting to form ammonia gas. 2. **Understand the Relationship**: We know from thermodynamics that: \[ \Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n \cdot R \cdot T \] where \( \Delta n \) is the change in the number of moles of gas, \( R \) is the universal gas constant, and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. 3. **Calculate \( \Delta n \)**: - **Reactants**: 1 mole of \( N_2 \) + 3 moles of \( H_2 \) = 4 moles of reactants. - **Products**: 2 moles of \( NH_3 \). - Therefore, the change in moles \( \Delta n \) is: \[ \Delta n = \text{moles of products} - \text{moles of reactants} = 2 - 4 = -2 \] 4. **Substitute \( \Delta n \) into the Equation**: Substituting \( \Delta n \) into the relationship gives: \[ \Delta H = \Delta U + (-2)RT \] This can be rearranged to: \[ \Delta U = \Delta H + 2RT \] 5. **Express the Difference**: From the problem statement, we know that: \[ \Delta U = \Delta H - xRT \] Setting the two expressions for \( \Delta U \) equal to each other gives: \[ \Delta H - xRT = \Delta H + 2RT \] 6. **Solve for \( x \)**: Rearranging the equation: \[ -xRT = 2RT \] Dividing both sides by \( RT \) (assuming \( RT \neq 0 \)): \[ -x = 2 \] Therefore, we find: \[ x = -2 \] ### Conclusion: The value of \( x \) is \( 2 \).
