Answer

Kc=[NH3]2[N2][H2]3K_c = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^2}{[\text{N}_2] [\text{H}_2]^3}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the balanced chemical equation.

    The given reversible reaction is:

    N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)\text{N}_2(g) + 3\text{H}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(g)
  2. Write the general expression for the equilibrium constant KcK_c.

    For a general reversible reaction aA+bB⇌cC+dDa\text{A} + b\text{B} \rightleftharpoons c\text{C} + d\text{D}, the equilibrium constant KcK_c is given by:

    Kc=[C]c[D]d[A]a[B]bK_c = \frac{[\text{C}]^c [\text{D}]^d}{[\text{A}]^a [\text{B}]^b}

    where [X][\text{X}] represents the molar concentration of species X at equilibrium, and a,b,c,da, b, c, d are the stoichiometric coefficients. Only species in the gaseous or aqueous phases are included in the KcK_c expression.

  3. Apply the general expression to the given reaction.

    In the given reaction, all reactants and products are in the gaseous phase, so they are all included in the KcK_c expression.
    The products are NH3\text{NH}_3 with a stoichiometric coefficient of 2.
    The reactants are N2\text{N}_2 with a stoichiometric coefficient of 1, and H2\text{H}_2 with a stoichiometric coefficient of 3.

    Therefore, the expression for KcK_c is:

    Kc=[NH3]2[N2]1[H2]3K_c = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^2}{[\text{N}_2]^1 [\text{H}_2]^3} Kc=[NH3]2[N2][H2]3K_c = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^2}{[\text{N}_2] [\text{H}_2]^3}
