It's a gas problem:
3 volumes N2 and 1 volume of H2 react at 344 degrees Celsius to form NH3. The equilibrium total pressure is 110 ATM and is 41.49% NH3 by volume. Find Kp assuming the gases behave ideally.
So I started by assuming that I had 100L of gas. I worked the ICE table like so:
3H2 + N2 <--> 2NH3
75L_____25L_____0L
-3x_____-x______+2x
12.765L_4.255L___41.49L
Well this gives me volumes. But it's wrong. This is clearly not working. How can I go about it correctly?
