At 775 Celsius, the equilibrium constant Kp for the synthesis of ammonia (below) is 3.35 *10^-5. what is the value of Kc?
Answer – We are given the Kp = 3.35*10-5 , T = 775+273 = 1048
N2 + 3 H2 ---> NH3
So, ∆n = sum of moles of product – sum of moles of reactant
= 2 – 4
= -2
We know formula
Kp = Kc *(RT)∆n
3.35*10-5 = Kc * (0.0821 *1048 )-2
3.35*10-5 = Kc * 0.000135
So, Kc = 3.35*10-5 / 0.000135
= 0.248
