Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction ${\text{4NH}}_3{}_{(g)}+3{\text{O}}_{2(g)}\rightleftharpoons 2{\text{N}}_{2(g)}+6{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}{\text{O}}_{\begin{array}{l}(g)\\ \end{array}}$ at the given temperature is to be calculated.

Introduction:

The term equilibrium constant expresses the relationship between the reactants and the products of a reaction that is in the equilibrium state. The equilibrium constant using concentration, or the partial pressure of reactants and products can be given. If this relationship is given using the concentrations, the equilibrium constant is denoted by $K_c$ and if we use partial pressures to calculate the equilibrium, then we can denote it by $Kp$.
