The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Consider the reaction
4NH_3(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 2N_2O_4(g)+6H_2O(g)

Initially,
[NH_3(g)]=[O_2(g)] = 3.60 M; at equilibrium
[N_2O_4(g)]=0.60M . Calculate the equilibrium concentration for
NH_3

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of ammonia is 2.8 M

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

Initial concentration of
[NH_3(g)] = 3.60 M

Initial concentration of
[O_2(g)] = 3.60 M

For the given chemical equation:


4NH_3(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 2N_2O_4(g)+6H_2O(g)

Initial: 3.60 3.60

At eqllm: 3.60-4x 3.60-7x 2x 6x

We are given:

Equilibrium concentration of
[N_2O_4(g)] = 0.60 M

Evaluating the value of 'x'


\Rightarrow 2x=0.60\\\\\Rightarrow x=(0.60)/(2)=0.2

So, equilibrium concentration of
NH_3=(3.60-4x)=(3.60-(4* 0.2))=2.8M

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of ammonia is 2.8 M
