AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a chemical equilibrium problem involving the reaction N2 + 3H2 <===> 2NH3. The initial amounts are 2 moles of N2 and 4 moles of H2 in a 0.4 L container, with 1.14 moles of N2 remaining at equilibrium. Participants are trying to determine the equilibrium number of moles of hydrogen, the amount of ammonia produced, and the equilibrium constant (Keq). There is confusion regarding the values of x, y, and z, which are related through stoichiometry, specifically that z equals 3 times x. Clarification on the ICE table and the assignment of variables is sought to resolve the misunderstandings.

1. N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) <===> 2NH3 (g)
initial 2mol ----- 4mol -------------- 0
change -x ------ -y ---------------- +z
End 1.14

2 mol N2 mixed with 4 mol H2 in 0.4 L container. At equilibrium 1.14 of N2 remain


There were 2 other questions too:

What is Y and what is X. I solved those but I can't do the rest, my answers are wrong

1) What is the equilibrium number of moles of hydrogen?

2) What is z, that is, how much ammonia is produce?

3) What is the equilibrium constant, Keq?



I tried to answer these questions over and over but it turns out wrong. I need hel soon, I'm stuck .please help

I am not sure what the quastion is - were you given the ICE table, or have you made it on your own, assigning x, y and z to different reagents?

x, y and z are connected by stoichiometry of the reaction. For example - for every mole of N2 that reacted, 3 moles of NH3 are produced, thus z=3x.

Thread 'Confusion regarding a chemical kinetics problem'
TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
