13.2 Exercise 14

Avg difficulty 2.5

The following reaction has KP = 4.50 ×\times 10−5 at 720 K.
N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)\text{N}_{2} \left(g\right) + 3 \text{H}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightleftharpoons 2 \text{NH}_{3} \left(g\right)

If a reaction vessel is filled with each gas to the partial pressures listed, in which direction will it shift to reach equilibrium? P(NH3) = 93 atm, P(N2) = 48 atm, and P(H2) = 52 atm
