The decomposition reaction is below:

2NH3 --> N2 + 3H2

The initial concentration of NH3 = 5.0 mol5.0 L=1.0 M\frac{5.0\ mol}{5.0\ L}=1.0\ M

Knowing that 80% of NH3 had reacted, the final concentration of NH3 is 0.20 M. Based on this, an ICE table can be constructed:



Therefore,


Kc=[N2][H2]3[NH3]2=0.40×(1.2)3(0.20)217K_c=\frac{[N_2][H_2]^3}{[NH_3]^2}=\frac{0.40\times(1.2)^3}{(0.20)^2}\approx17
