A chemical engineer is studying the following reaction: N,(9)+3H,(9) → 2 NH,(9) At the temperature the engineer picks, the equilibrium constant K, for this reaction is 0.00029. The engineer charges ("fills") three reaction vessels with nitrogen and hydrogen, and lets the reaction begin. She then measures the composition of the mixture inside each vessel from time to time. Her first set of measurements are shown in the table below. Predict the changes in the compositions the engineer should expect next time she measures the compositions. reaction vessel expected change in pressure compound pressure N2 52.94 atm Of increase I decrease (no change) A H2 23.44 atm t increase I decrease O (no change) NH3 14.08 atm t increase O I decrease (no change) N2 47.16 atm f increase I decrease O (no change) H2 20.07 atm f increase O I decrease O (no change) B NH3 11.95 atm t increase O I decrease O (no change) N2 47.80 atm t increase I decrease (no change) H2 21.97 atm t increase O I decrease (no change) NH3 10.69 atm t increase OI decrease O (no change)
