For the formation of \(\mathrm{NH}_3(g)\) from its constituent elements, which of the relation between the reaction quotient \((Q)\) and equilibrium constant \(\left(K_C^{\prime}\right)\) is correct for the backward reaction.

  1. A \(Q=K_C\)
  2. B \(Q>K_C\)
  3. C \(Q < K_C\)
  4. D \(Q=K=1\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(Q>K_C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\mathrm{N}_2+3 \mathrm{H}_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_3\) For backward reaction to occur reaction quotient (Q) must be greater than equilibrium constant \(\left(K_C\right)\), i.e. \(Q>K_C\). This will cause conversion of product \(\left(\mathrm{NH}_3\right)\) into…
