Question

For the reaction:

N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)

KP = 0.0993 at 500 K. If the initial partial pressures of all three gases were 0.85 bar, which of the following statements would be true?


1.The partial pressure of H2 will have the smallest value when the system reaches equilibrium.
2.The partial pressure of NH3 will increase as the system approaches equilibrium.
3. the partial pressure of N2 will have the smallest value when the system reaches equilibrium.
4.Partial pressures of N2 and H2 will increase as the system approaches equilibrium.
5. The system is at equilibrium, so there will be no change.
