Answer:

b. 2.7 M

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by considering the law of mass action for the studied reaction:


Kc=([NH_3]^2_(eq))/([H_2]^3_(eq)[N_2]_(eq))

Now, since the concentration
N_2 is the unique unknown, solving for it one obtains:


[N_2]_(eq)=([NH_3]^2_(eq))/([H_2]^3_(eq)Kc)


[N_2]_(eq)=((0.050M)^2)/((0.250M)^3(6.0x10^(-2)))


[N_2]_(eq)=2.7M

Hence the answer is b.

Best regards.
