Question

Is kp or kc larger (both at 300 k) for the reaction 2 nh3(g) ⇀↽ n2(g) + 3 h2(g) ? 1. they are both the same. 2. kc is larger. 3. kp is larger?

Answer 1

The equation is 2 NH3 (g) ⇀↽ N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g)
Difference in the number of moles delta n = ((3 + 1) - 2) = 4 - 2 = 2
We have an equation Kp= Kc (R x T) ^ (delta n); R is constant and T = 300 K
Kp / Kc = (R x T) ^2 Based on the temperature value (300 K), we can conclude that Kp is Larger.
