Correct answer: C
- Write the equilibrium reaction and expression for
Given:
So,
- Start with pure ammonia and let it dissociate
Since initially only ammonia is present, the reverse reaction occurs:
Let at equilibrium the partial pressures formed be:
Then ammonia consumed corresponds to , so if total pressure at equilibrium is , and ammonia partial pressure is small compared to total pressure, we use:
Hence most of the total pressure comes from and .
Now,
So,
Thus,
- Substitute into the equilibrium constant expression
Using
we get
Now simplify the denominator:
Therefore,
So,
Taking square root:
Since
we obtain:
- Match with the options
This matches Option C:
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer: C
Derived answer: C
So the derived answer agrees with the stored answer.
