Chapter 18, Problem 24E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

For the reaction, $N_2\left(g\right)+3H_2\left(g\right)\rightleftharpoons 2N{H}_3\left(g\right)$, the change in concentrations of the three species between the start of the reaction and the time equilibrium is reached is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The rate of forward reaction in of a reaction in equilibrium depends on the temperature, pressue, catalyst and the concentration. The rate of forward reaction decreases with time due to product formation and the concentration of reactants decreases. The rate of reverse reaction increases with time due to product formation and the concentration of product decreases.
