Law Of Mass Action
For the reaction N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g), the expression for equilibrium constant Kc is:
Select the correct option:
Solution
[NH₃]²/[N₂][H₂]³
According to the Law of Mass Action, for a reversible chemical reaction at a constant temperature, the equilibrium constant (Kc) is the ratio of the product of molar concentrations of the products to that of the reactants, with each concentration term raised to a power equal to its stoichiometric coefficient in the balanced equation. For the synthesis of ammonia: N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g) Kc=[N2]1[H2]3[NH3]2
- Square brackets [] denote molarity (mol/L).
