A sample of pure NH4HS is placed in a sealed 2.0-L container and heated to 550 K at which the equilibrium constant is 3.5 x 10-3. Once the reaction reaches equilibrium, what mass of NH3 is present in the container

Respuesta :

Answer:

The mass of [tex]NH_{3}[/tex] in the container is 2.074 gram

Explanation:

Given:

Volume of [tex]NH_{4} HS[/tex]    [tex]V = 2[/tex] lit

Equilibrium constant [tex]k _{eq} = 3.5 \times 10^{-3}[/tex]

The reaction in which [tex]NH_{3}[/tex] is produced

  [tex]NH_{4} HS[/tex] ⇄ [tex]NH_{3} + H_{2}S[/tex]

Here equal moles of [tex]NH_{3}[/tex] and [tex]H_{2}S[/tex] is formed.

From the formula of equilibrium constant,

  [tex]k_{eq} = (NH_{3})(H_{2}S )[/tex]

   [tex]x^{2} = 3.5 \times 10^{-3}[/tex]

     [tex]x = 0.061[/tex] M

Above value shows,

   [tex]NH_{3} = 0.061[/tex] [tex]\frac{moles}{L}[/tex]

So in 2 L no. moles of [tex]NH_{3}[/tex] = [tex]0.061 \times 2 = 0.122[/tex] moles.

So mass of 0.122 mole of [tex]NH_{3}[/tex] is = [tex]0.122 \times 17 = 2.074[/tex] g

Therefore, the mass of [tex]NH_{3}[/tex] in the container is 2.074 gram
