Question

Julie, John and Jacob are working on the formation of ammonia. The feed is a stoichiometric ratrio of nitrogen and hydrogen at a particular T and P

Julie, who thought in round numbers of product, wrote: 1/2 N₂ + 3/2 H₂ --> NH₃  

John, who thought in round numbers of nitrogen, wrote: N₂ + 3 H₂ --> 2NH₃

Jacob, who thought in round numbers of hydrogen, wrote: 1/3 N₂ + H₂ --> 2/3 NH₃

a) How will Johns and Jacobs standard state Gibbs energy of reaction compare to Julies?

b) How will Johns and Jacobs equilibrium constants be realted to Julies?

c) How will Johns and Jacobs equilbrium compositions be realted to Julies?

d) How will Johns and Jacobs reaction coordinate values be related to Julies?
