For the ammonia synthesis reaction,
\(\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{N}_{2}(g)+\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{H}_{2} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)\)
the equilibrium conversion to ammonia is large at 300 K, but it decreases rapidly with increasing T. However, reaction rates become appreciable only at higher temperatures. For a feed mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen in the stoichiometric proportions,
(a) What is the equilibrium mole fraction of ammonia at 1 bar and 300 K?
(b) At what temperature does the equilibrium mole fraction of ammonia equal 0.50 for a pressure of 1 bar?
(c) At what temperature does the equilibrium mole fraction of ammonia equal 0.50 for a pressure of 100 bar, assuming the equilibrium mixture is an ideal gas?
(d) At what temperature does the equilibrium mole fraction of ammonia equal 0.50 for a pressure of 100 bar, assuming the equilibrium mixture is an ideal solution of gases?
