The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined procedure based on the equilibrium reaction provided. ### Step 1: Write the Balanced Reaction The balanced chemical reaction is: \[ N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 \] ### Step 2: Set Up Initial Conditions Given that we start with a 1:3 ratio of \( N_2 \) to \( H_2 \): - Initial moles of \( N_2 = 1 \) mole - Initial moles of \( H_2 = 3 \) moles - Initial moles of \( NH_3 = 0 \) ### Step 3: Define Change in Moles at Equilibrium Let \( x \) be the amount of \( N_2 \) that reacts at equilibrium. The changes in moles will be: - Moles of \( N_2 \) at equilibrium: \( 1 - x \) - Moles of \( H_2 \) at equilibrium: \( 3 - 3x \) - Moles of \( NH_3 \) at equilibrium: \( 2x \) ### Step 4: Calculate Total Moles at Equilibrium The total number of moles at equilibrium is: \[ \text{Total moles} = (1 - x) + (3 - 3x) + 2x = 4 - 2x \] ### Step 5: Calculate Partial Pressures Using the total pressure \( P = 200 \) atm, we can find the partial pressures: - Partial pressure of \( N_2 \): \[ P_{N_2} = \frac{(1 - x)}{(4 - 2x)} \times 200 \] - Partial pressure of \( H_2 \): \[ P_{H_2} = \frac{(3 - 3x)}{(4 - 2x)} \times 200 \] - Partial pressure of \( NH_3 \): \[ P_{NH_3} = \frac{(2x)}{(4 - 2x)} \times 200 \] ### Step 6: Write the Expression for \( K_p \) The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) is given by: \[ K_p = \frac{(P_{NH_3})^2}{(P_{N_2})(P_{H_2})^3} \] Substituting the expressions for partial pressures: \[ K_p = \frac{\left(\frac{(2x)}{(4 - 2x)} \times 200\right)^2}{\left(\frac{(1 - x)}{(4 - 2x)} \times 200\right) \left(\frac{(3 - 3x)}{(4 - 2x)} \times 200\right)^3} \] ### Step 7: Substitute Known Values Given \( K_p = 1.6 \times 10^{-5} \): \[ 1.6 \times 10^{-5} = \frac{(2x)^2 \cdot 200^2}{(1 - x)(3 - 3x)^3 \cdot (4 - 2x)^4} \] ### Step 8: Solve for \( x \) This equation can be simplified and solved for \( x \). After simplification, we find: \[ x \approx 0.301 \] ### Step 9: Calculate Moles of \( NH_3 \) The number of moles of \( NH_3 \) formed is: \[ \text{Moles of } NH_3 = 2x = 2 \times 0.301 = 0.602 \] ### Step 10: Calculate Total Moles at Equilibrium The total moles at equilibrium are: \[ \text{Total moles} = 4 - 2x = 4 - 2 \times 0.301 = 3.398 \] ### Step 11: Calculate Percentage of \( NH_3 \) The percentage of \( NH_3 \) formed is: \[ \% NH_3 = \left(\frac{0.602}{3.398}\right) \times 100 \approx 17.716\% \] ### Final Answer The percentage of \( NH_3 \) formed at this temperature is approximately \( 17.716\% \). ---

To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined procedure based on the equilibrium reaction provided. ### Step 1: Write the Balanced Reaction The balanced chemical reaction is: \[ N_2 + 3H_2 \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3 \] ### Step 2: Set Up Initial Conditions Given that we start with a 1:3 ratio of \( N_2 \) to \( H_2 \): ...
