When a mixture of N2 and H2 in the volume ratio 1:3 reacts at 10 atm total pressure, the equilibrium mixture contains 0.2 mole fraction of NH3. The Kp for N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Start with 1 mol N2 and 3 mol H2; at equilibrium N2 = 1-x, H2 = 3-3x, NH3 = 2x, total = 4-2x 2x/(4-2x) = 0.2, so x = 1/3

Mole fractions: NH3 = 0.2, N2 = 0.2, H2 = 0.6

Kp = ((0.2)2)/((0.2)(0.6)3P2) = 0.926/((10)2)

Kp = 9.26×10-3 atm-2

This is option (a).
