JEE Main 2024 — Chemical Equilibrium Question with Solution

The equilibrium constant of concentration (denoted by ${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{c}}$) of a chemical reaction at equilibrium can be defined as the ratio of the concentration of products to the concentration of the reactants, each raised to their respective stoichiometric coefficients.

The equilibrium reaction is 

${\mathrm{N}}_{2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+3{\mathrm{H}}_{2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}\underset{}{\overset{}{\leftrightharpoons }}2{\mathrm{NH}}_{3\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$

${\mathrm{K}}_{\mathrm{c}}=\frac{{\left[{\mathrm{NH}}_3\right]}^2}{{\left[{\mathrm{H}}_2\right]}^3\left[{\mathrm{N}}_2\right]}$

$=\frac{{\left({\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}\times {10}^{-2}}\right)}^2}{{\left(3\times {10}^{-2}\right)}^3\times 2\times {10}^{-2}}$

$=\frac{3^2\times {10}^{-4}}{2^2\times 3^3\times {10}^{-6}\times 2\times {10}^{-2}}$

$=\frac{1}{4\times 2\times 3}\times {10}^4=\frac{10000}{24}=416.6\approx 417$
