Ammonia kept under pressure of 15 atm at 270C is heated to 3470C in a closed vessel in the presence of catalyst. Under these conditions, NH3 is partially decomposed according to the equation, 2NH3⇋N2+3H2. The vessel is such that the volume remains effectively constant whereas pressure increases to 50 atm. Calculate the percentage of NH3 actually decomposed.

Answer» Ammonia kept under pressure of 15 atm at 27⁰C is heated to 347⁰C in a closed vessel in the presence of catalyst. Under these conditions, NH₃ is partially decomposed according to the equation, $2 N H_{3} ⇋ N_{2} + 3 H_{2}$ . The vessel is such that the volume remains effectively constant whereas pressure increases to 50 atm. Calculate the percentage of NH₃ actually decomposed.
