Answer: Concentrations of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas that were reacted initially were 6.5 M and 0.5 respectively
Explanation:
Equilibrium constant is the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of reactants each term raised to its stochiometric coefficients.
[tex]3H_2(g)+N_2(g)\rightarrow 2NH_3(g)[/tex]
at t= 0 x y 0
tt t= eqm (x-3z) (y-z) 2z
2z = 3.0 M
z= 1.5 M
Initial concentration of [tex]H_2[/tex] = [tex]x-3\times z = 5.0 M[/tex]
[tex]x-3\times 1.5 =5.0M[/tex]
[tex]x=0.5M[/tex]
Initial concentration of [tex]N_2[/tex] = [tex]y-z =8.0M[/tex]
[tex]y-1.5=8.0M[/tex]
[tex]y=6.5M[/tex]
Thus concentrations of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas that were reacted initially were 6.5 M and 0.5 respectively
