The equilibrium constant of a reaction is defined as:
"The ratio between equilibrium concentrations of products powered to their reaction quotient and equilibrium concentration of reactants powered to thier reaction quotient".
The reaction quotient, Q, has the same algebraic expressions but use the actual concentrations of reactants.
To solve this question we need this additional information:
<em>For this reaction, K = 6.0x10⁻² and the initial concentrations of the reactants are:</em>
<em>[N₂] = 4.0M; [NH₃] = 1.0x10⁻⁴M and [H₂] = 1.0x10⁻²M</em>
<em />
Thus, for the reaction:
N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃
The equilibrium constant, K, of this reaction, is defined as:
And Q, is:
Where actual concentrations are:
[NH₃] = 1.0x10⁻⁴M
[N₂] = 4.0M
[H₂] = 2.5x10⁻¹M
Replacing:
As Q < K,
