Consider the following equilibrium: 2NH3(g) N₂ (g) + 3H₂(g) AG = 34. KJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 5.61 atm of ammonia (NH3) and 1.54 atm of hydrogen (H₂) at 1009. °C. Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of NH3 tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding N₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of NH3 will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding N₂? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NH3 will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding N₂? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of N, needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. O rise O fall O yes O no 0.38 atm X

. What does it mean to say that a state of chemical or physical equilibrium is dynamic?
A 4.72-g sample of methanol (CH3OH) was placed in an otherwise empty 1.00-L flask and heated to 250.C to vaporize the methanol. Over time, the methanol vapor decomposed by the following reaction: CH3OH(g)CO(g)+2H2(g) After the system has reached equilibrium, a tiny hole is drilled in the side of the flask allowing gaseous compounds to effuse out of the flask. Measurements of the effusing gas show that it contains 33.0 times as much H2(g) as CH3OH(g). Calculate K for this reaction at 250.C.
During an experiment with the Haber process, a researcher put 1 mol N2 and 1 mol H2 into a reaction vessel to observe the equilibrium formation of ammonia, NH3. N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) When these reactants come to equilibrium, assume that x mol H2 react. How many moles of ammonia form?

A gaseous material XY(g) dissociates to some extent to produce X(g) and Y(g): XY(g)X(g)+Y(g) A 2.00-g sample of XY (molar mass = 165 g/mol) is placed in a container with a movable piston at 25C. The pressure is held constant at 0.967 atm. As XY begins to dissociate, the piston moves until 35.0 mole percent of the original XY has dissociated and then remains at a constant position. Assuming ideal behavior, calculate the density of the gas in the container after the piston has stopped moving, and determine the value of K for this reaction of 25C.
