One mechanism for the synthesis of ammonia proposes thatN2 andH2 molecules catalytically dissociate into atoms:

N2(g)2N(g)logKp=43.10H2(g)2H(g)logKp=17.30

(a) Find the partial pressure ofN inN2 at 1000 and 200atm.

(b) Find the partial pressure of HinH2 at 1000 and 600atm.

(c) How manyN atoms andH atoms are present per litre?

(d) Based on these answers, which of the following is a more reasonable step to continue the mechanism after the catalytic dissociation? Explain.

N(g)+H(g)NH(g)N2(g)+H(g)NH(g)+N(g)

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) .PN=4.01021

b) .PH=5.5108

c) 4.01014HAtoms per litre.

d) When comparing the two possible reaction steps, possible reaction step (2) appears to be the more reasonable option, as it maximises NH generation.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of pressure

Pressureis defined as a measure of the force applied over a unit area.

02

Calculate the partial pressure of N

a)

In this problem, we are tasked to evaluate the given two-step reaction shown below.

N2(g)2N(g)logKp1=43.10H2(g)2H(g)logKp2=17.30

First, solve for the Kpof the reaction (1).

logKp1=43.10Kp1=1043.10Kp1=7.94331044.

Next, write the expression for the equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of partial pressures, and solve for PN.

Kp1=PproductsPreactantsKp1=PN2PN2PN2=Kp1PN2PN=Kp1PN2=7.49331044(200)PN=4.01021.

Therefore, PN=4.01021.

03

Calculate the partial pressure of H

b)

We will do the same method in solvingPN, but instead, we will solve forPH.

Solve for theKpof reaction (2), first.

Kp2=17.30Kp2=1017.30Kp2=5.01191018

Next, write the expression for the equilibrium constant of the reaction in terms of partial pressures, and solve forPH .

Kp2=PproductsPreactantsKp2=PH2PH2PH2=Kp2PH2PH=Kp2PH2=5.01191018(600)PH=5.5108

Therefore, PH=5.5108.

04

Calculate the atoms per litre

(c)

To solve for the number of atoms of Nand Hare present per litre, we will solve for the number of moles first using the ideal gas law equation. Identify the given values.

PN=4.01021atmPH=5.5108atmV=1.0LT=100KR=0.0821LatmmolK

Solve for the number of moles of N

PV&=nRT

nNV=PNlTT=1.01021atm0.0821LatmmolK(1000K)nNV=4.871023mol/L

Solve for the number of atoms per litre of N by using dimensional analysis.

4.871023molL6.0221023atoms1mol=29Natomsperliter

Next, solve for the number of moles of H.

PV=nRT

nHV=PHRT=5.5108atm0.0821LatmmolK(1000K)nNV=6.701010mol/L

Solve for the number of atoms per litre of Hby using dimensional analysis.

6.701010molL6.0221023atoms1mol=4.01014Hatomsperliter.

Therefore, the required value is .4.01014H

05

Step 5: Which of the following is a more reasonable step

d)

Let us evaluate each possible step.

.N(g)+H(g)NH(g)

Possible reaction step (1) has Nand Has reactants. Noted from our previous reactions that Nhas low yield with only 29 atoms per litre. With this amount, the reaction will also have a low yield.

N2(g)+H(g)NH(g)+N(g)

Possible reaction step (2) hasN2 and Has reactants. From our previous calculations, N2has a high partial pressure (200 atm). With this amount, the reaction will also have a high yield.

Therefore, comparing the two possible reaction steps, possible reaction step (2) is the more reasonable step since it will maximize the production of NH.
