Ammonia is synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen in the reaction:  N2(g)  +  3H2(g)  <-->  2NH3(g). At 500oC, the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 0.080.  Given that you have reacted 2.5 moles of Nitrogen gas with 1.75 moles of hydrogen gas, and you produced 1 mole of ammonia gas in a 2.5L flask, is the reaction at equilibrium? If not, in what direction will it tend?
