Chemical and Ionic Equilibrium 1 Question 25

26. Pure ammonia is placed in a vessel at a temperature where its dissociation constant $(\alpha)$ is appreciable. At equilibrium,

$$ \mathrm{N}{2}+3 \mathrm{H}{2} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3} $$

$(1984,1 \mathrm{M})$

(a) $K_{p}$ does not change significantly with pressure

(b) $\alpha$ does not change with pressure

(c) concentration of $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ does not change with pressure

(d) concentration of hydrogen is less than that of nitrogen

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. $K_{p}$ for a given reversible reaction depends only on temperature.
