Answer 2

Answer:

b. 2.7 M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by considering the law of mass action for the studied reaction:

$Kc=\frac{[NH_3]^2_{eq}}{[H_2]^3_{eq}[N_2]_{eq}}$

Now, since the concentration $N_2$ is the unique unknown, solving for it one obtains:

$[N_2]_{eq}=\frac{[NH_3]^2_{eq}}{[H_2]^3_{eq}Kc}$

$[N_2]_{eq}=\frac{(0.050M)^2}{(0.250M)^3(6.0x10^{-2})}$

$[N_2]_{eq}=2.7M$

Hence the answer is b.

Best regards.
