0.6 mole of `NH_(3)` in a reaction vessel of `2dm^(3)` capacity was brought to equilibrium. The vessel was then found to contain 0.15 mole of `H_(2)` formed by the reaction `2NH_(3)(g) hArr N_(2)(g)+3H_(2)(g)`. Which of the following statements is true?

A

0.15 mole of the original `NH_(3)` had dissociated at equilibrium

B

0.55 mole of ammonia is left in the vessel

C

At equilibrium the vessel contained 0.45 mole of `N_(2)`

D

The concentration of `NH_(3)` at equilibrium is 0.25 mole per `dm^(3)`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question step by step, we will analyze the given reaction and the information provided. ### Step 1: Write the balanced chemical equation The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is: \[ 2 \text{NH}_3(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{N}_2(g) + 3 \text{H}_2(g) \] ### Step 2: Determine the initial moles of reactants Initially, we have: - Moles of \(\text{NH}_3\) = 0.6 moles - Moles of \(\text{N}_2\) = 0 moles - Moles of \(\text{H}_2\) = 0 moles ### Step 3: Set up the change in moles at equilibrium Let \(x\) be the change in moles of \(\text{N}_2\) formed at equilibrium. According to the stoichiometry of the reaction: - For every 2 moles of \(\text{NH}_3\) that dissociate, 1 mole of \(\text{N}_2\) and 3 moles of \(\text{H}_2\) are formed. - Therefore, if \(x\) moles of \(\text{N}_2\) are formed, then \(2x\) moles of \(\text{NH}_3\) will dissociate, and \(3x\) moles of \(\text{H}_2\) will be formed. ### Step 4: Express the moles at equilibrium At equilibrium, the moles of each species will be: - Moles of \(\text{NH}_3\) = \(0.6 - 2x\) - Moles of \(\text{N}_2\) = \(x\) - Moles of \(\text{H}_2\) = \(3x\) ### Step 5: Use the information given in the problem We know that at equilibrium, the vessel contains 0.15 moles of \(\text{H}_2\): \[ 3x = 0.15 \] From this, we can solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{0.15}{3} = 0.05 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the moles of \(\text{NH}_3\) left at equilibrium Now, substituting \(x\) back into the expression for \(\text{NH}_3\): \[ \text{Moles of } \text{NH}_3 = 0.6 - 2(0.05) = 0.6 - 0.1 = 0.5 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 7: Calculate the moles of \(\text{N}_2\) at equilibrium Using \(x\): \[ \text{Moles of } \text{N}_2 = x = 0.05 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 8: Determine the concentration of \(\text{NH}_3\) at equilibrium The concentration of \(\text{NH}_3\) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Concentration} = \frac{\text{Moles}}{\text{Volume}} \] Given the volume of the reaction vessel is \(2 \, \text{dm}^3\): \[ \text{Concentration of } \text{NH}_3 = \frac{0.5}{2} = 0.25 \, \text{mol/dm}^3 \] ### Conclusion Now we can analyze the statements: 1. **0.15 mole of original NH3 had dissociated at equilibrium.** (False, only 0.1 moles dissociated) 2. **0.55 mole of ammonia is left in the vessel.** (False, 0.5 moles are left) 3. **At equilibrium, the vessel contains 0.45 moles of N2.** (False, only 0.05 moles of N2 are present) 4. **The concentration of NH3 at equilibrium is 0.25 mole per dm³.** (True) Thus, the correct statement is that the concentration of \(\text{NH}_3\) at equilibrium is \(0.25 \, \text{mol/dm}^3\).
