**Equilibrium Reaction and Calculation of \( K_p \):**Gaseous \(\text{NH}_3\) is placed in a closed container at **33 °C**, where it partially decomposes to \(\text{N}_2\) and \(\text{H}_2\), according to the following equilibrium reaction:\[ 2 \text{NH}_3(g) \rightleftharpoons 1 \text{N}_2(g) + 3 \text{H}_2(g) \]At equilibrium, the partial pressures are measured as follows:- \( p(\text{NH}_3) = 0.008450\) atm,- \( p(\text{N}_2) = 0.007140\) atm,- \( p(\text{H}_2) = 0.003440\) atm.**Objective:**Determine the value of \( K_p \) for this reaction at 33 °C.**Calculation:**The equilibrium constant \( K_p \) for the reaction is expressed as:\[K_p = \frac{(p(\text{N}_2) \times (p(\text{H}_2))^3)}{(p(\text{NH}_3))^2}\]Insert the given partial pressures into the expression to find \( K_p \).\[ K_p = \frac{(0.007140) \times (0.003440)^3}{(0.008450)^2} \]**Note to Educators:**Ensure students are aware that the units for partial pressures must be consistent when calculating \( K_p \). This exercise is useful for reinforcing concepts of chemical equilibrium and the use of equilibrium constants in gaseous reactions.

"Synthesis gas" is a mixture of carbon monoxide and water vapor. At high temperature synthesis gas will form carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and in fact this reaction is one of the ways hydrogen is made industrially. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 2.0 L flask with 3.1 atm of carbon monoxide gas and 3.6 atm of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium she determines that it contains 1.0 atm of carbon monoxide gas, 1.5 atm of water vapor and 2.1 atm of carbon dioxide. The engineer then adds another 0.90 atm of water, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the pressure of hydrogen after equilibrium is reached the second time.
