The reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to produce ammonia N2(g) + 3 H2(g)=2 NH;(g) is essential in making nitrogen-containing fertilizers. This reaction has an equilibrium constant equal to 1.9 × 10~ª at 400°C. Suppose that 0.10 mol of N2, 0.040 mol of H2, and 0.020 mol of NH3 are sealed in a 1.00-L vessel at 400°C. In which direction will the reaction proceed?

While ethanol CH3CH2OH is produced naturally by fermentation, e.g. in beer- and wine-making, industrially it is synthesized by reacting ethylene CH2CH2 with water vapor at elevated temperatures. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 200.mL flask with 1.2atm of ethylene gas and 1.3atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 0.25atm of ethylene gas and 0.35atm of water vapor. The engineer then adds another 0.30atm of ethylene, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of ethanol after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
