Homework Statement
N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3 (all gases)
Why is such a high pressure needed? Calculate the equilibrium constant at 500k then estimate the percentage conversion at equilibrium at 1 bar total pressure, assuming the stoichiometric ratio of N22 is 1:3.
Repeat the process at 50 bar.
Homework Equations
Van Hoff equation : ln(keq) at final temp = -((delta G)/RTi) - ((delta H)/R)(1/Tf-1/Ti)
Keq = ((PNH3)^2)/((PH2)^3)(PN2)
PNH3 + PH2 + PN2 = 1 bar
The Attempt at a Solution
[/B]
I solved for keq at 500k. I have no idea how to estimate the percentage conversion at equilibrium at 1 bar total pressure since we aren't given any of the partial pressures.
I tried using molar ratios to solve but it doesn't really make sense. Here's what I did 1x + 3x + 2x = 1, 6x=1 x=0.33 = 33%. For 50 bar 1x+3x+2x=50, then 6x=50, x would be over 100%.
