0.36 L2/mol2\text{0.36 L}^2/\text{mol}^2

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Write the equilibrium constant expression (KcK_c) for the reaction.

    The given reaction is:

    N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)\text{N}_2(\text{g}) + 3\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(\text{g})

    The equilibrium constant expression for this reaction is:

    Kc=[NH3]2[N2][H2]3K_c = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^2}{[\text{N}_2][\text{H}_2]^3}
  2. Substitute the given equilibrium concentrations into the expression.

    The given equilibrium concentrations are:
    [N2]=0.5 mol/litre[\text{N}_2] = 0.5 \text{ mol/litre}
    [H2]=0.5 mol/litre[\text{H}_2] = 0.5 \text{ mol/litre}
    [NH3]=0.15 mol/litre[\text{NH}_3] = 0.15 \text{ mol/litre}

    Substitute these values into the KcK_c expression:

    Kc=(0.15 mol/litre)2(0.5 mol/litre)(0.5 mol/litre)3K_c = \frac{(0.15 \text{ mol/litre})^2}{(0.5 \text{ mol/litre})(0.5 \text{ mol/litre})^3}
  3. Calculate the value of KcK_c.

    Kc=0.0225 (mol/litre)2(0.5 mol/litre)(0.125 (mol/litre)3)K_c = \frac{0.0225 \text{ (mol/litre)}^2}{(0.5 \text{ mol/litre})(0.125 \text{ (mol/litre)}^3)} Kc=0.0225 (mol/litre)20.0625 (mol/litre)4K_c = \frac{0.0225 \text{ (mol/litre)}^2}{0.0625 \text{ (mol/litre)}^4} Kc=0.36 (mol/litre)−2K_c = 0.36 \text{ (mol/litre)}^{-2} Kc=0.36 L2/mol2K_c = 0.36 \text{ L}^2/\text{mol}^2

    The value of KcK_c is 0.36 L2/mol2\boxed{\text{0.36 L}^2/\text{mol}^2}.
