Ammonia is among the top ten synthesized compounds. Its many uses include the manufacture of ammonium nitrate and other fertilizers. Ammonia decomposes at high temperatures. In an experiment to explore this behavior, 2.00 moles of gaseous NH3 are sealed in a rigid 1-liter vessel. The vessel is heated at 800 K and some of the NH3 decomposes in the following reaction:2NH3(g)<-----------N2(g)+3H2(g)
-------------->
The system eventually reaches equilibrium and is found to contain 1.74 mole of NH3. What is the value of KC for the decomposition reaction at 800 K? ________
What is the value of KP for the decomposition reaction at 800 K? ________
Indicate whether either an increase or a decrease of pressure obtained by changing the volume would increase the amount of product in each of the following reactions.

- A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.arrow_forwardClassify each of the following statements as true or false. aSome equilibria depend on a steady supply of a reactant in order to maintain the equilibrium. bBoth forward and reverse reactions continue after equilibrium is reached. cEvery time reactant molecules collide, there is a reaction. dPotential energy during a collision is greater than potential energy before or after the collision. eThe properties of a transition state are between those of the reactants and products. fActivation energy is positive for both the forward and reverse reactions. gKinetic energy is changed to potential energy during a collision. hAn increase in temperature speeds the forward reaction but slows the reverse reaction. iA catalyst changes the steps by which a reaction is completed. jAn increase in concentration of a substance on the right-hand side of an equation speeds the reverse reaction rate. kAn increase in the concentration of a substance in an equilibrium increases the reaction rate in which the substance is a product. lReducing the volume of a gaseous equilibrium shifts the equilibrium in the direction of fewer gaseous molecules. mRaising temperature results in a shift in the forward direction of an endothermic equilibrium. nThe value of an equilibrium constant depends on temperature. oA large K indicates that an equilibrium is favored in the reverse direction.arrow_forwardThe hydrocarbon naphthalene was frequently used in mothballs until recently, when it was discovered that human inhalation of naphthalene vapors can lead to hemolytic anemia.
