You are a member of a research team of chemists discussing plans for a plant to produce ammonia:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)
(b) One member of the team suggests the following: since the partial pressure of H 2 is cubed in the reaction quotient, the plant could produce the same amount of NH3 if the reactants were in a 1/6 ratio of N2/H2 and could do so at a lower pressure, which would cut operating costs. Calculate the partial pressure of each reactant and Ptotal under these conditions, assuming an unchanged partial pressure of 50 atm for NH3. Is the suggestion valid?
