Question 15.7: After a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases in a reaction...

Chemistry: The Central Science in SI Units, Expanded Edition

After a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen gases in a reaction vessel is allowed to attain equilibrium at 472 °C, it is found to contain 7.38 bar $H_{2}$ , 2.46 bar $N_{2}$ , and 0.166 bar $NH_{3}$ . From these data, calculate the equilibrium constant $K_{p}$ for the reaction

N_{2}  (g) + 3  H_{2}  (g) ⇌ 2  NH_{3}  (g)
