Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
For the reaction: 3H₂(g) + N₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g), if Kp = 6.35 at a certain temperature and the partial pressures are P_H2 = 0.5 atm, P_N2 = 0.5 atm, calculate P_NH3 at equilibrium.
💡 Hint: Rearrange the equation to find the unknown pressure.
Explain how decreasing the volume of a reaction container affects Kp for the reaction: A(g) + B(g) ⇌ C(g) + D(g) where Δn_gas = -1.
💡 Hint: Focus on Le Chatelier's principle regarding volume and pressure.
