Question
A student ran the following reaction in the laboratory at 768 K:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)
When she introduced 3.37×10-2 moles of N2(g) and 6.54×10-2 moles of H2(g) into a 1.00 liter container, she found the equilibrium concentration of H2(g) to be 6.43×10-2 M.
Calculate the equilibrium constant, Kc, she obtained for this reaction.

At room temperature, the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction
2 NO(g) ⇌ N2(g) + O2(g)
is 1.4 × 1030.
Is this reaction product-favored or reactant-favored? Explain your answer.
In the atmosphere at room temperature the concentration of N2 is 0.33 mol/L, and the concentration of O2 is about 25% of that value. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of NO in the atmosphere produced by the reaction of N2 and O2.
