- At 25C. Kp = 5.3 105 for the reaction N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) When a certain partial pressure of NH3(g) is put into an otherwise empty rigid vessel at 25C, equilibrium is reached when 50.0% of the original ammonia has decomposed. What was the original partial pressure of ammonia before any decomposition occurred?arrow_forwardA mixture of SO2, O2, and SO3 at 1000 K contains the gases at the following concentrations: [SO2] = 5.0 103 mol/L, [O2] = 1.9 103 mol/L, and [SO3] = 6.9 103 mol/L. Is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, which way will the reaction proceed to reach equilibrium? 2 SO2(g) + O2(g) 2 SO3(g) Kc = 279arrow_forwardKc = 5.6 1012 at 500 K for the dissociation of iodine molecules to iodine atoms.
