QUESTION:

A reaction chamber contains a mixture of  and N in equilibrium at a specified temperature and pressure. How will

(a) increasing the temperature at constant pressure and

(b) increasing the pressure at constant temperature affect the number of moles of ?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 2

(a) The equilibrium constant for the reaction  can be expressed as

Judging from the values in Table A-28, the  value for this reaction increases as the temperature increases. That is, the indicated reaction will be more complete at higher temperatures. Therefore, the number of moles of N will increase and the number moles of  will decrease as the temperature increases.
