Determine the value of Kc for the following reaction if the equilibrium concentrations are as follows: [N2]eq = 1.5 M, [H2]eq = 1.1 M, [NH3]eq = 0.47 M. N2(g) + 3 H2(g) 2 NH3(g)

Answer : The value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 0.11

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

The given chemical reaction is:

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

Thus, the value of equilibrium constant (K) is, 0.11

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
