1. From the Haber synthesis, at the start of a reaction there are 0.489 mol N₂, 8.50 X 10-² mol H₂ and 2.50 X 10-4 mol NH3 in a 5.0 L reaction vessel at 325°C. If the equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction is 1.15 at this temperature, decide whether the system is at equilibrium. If it is not, predict which direction the net reaction will proceed. Hint: You need to write balanced molecular equation for this reaction.

1. From the Haber synthesis, at the start of a reaction there
are 0.489 mol N₂, 8.50 X 10-² mol H₂ and 2.50 X 10-4
mol NH, in a 5.0 L reaction vessel at 325°C. If the
equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction is 1.15 at this
temperature, decide whether the system is at
equilibrium. If it is not, predict which direction the net
reaction will proceed. Hint: You need to write a
balanced molecular equation for this reaction.
