Today, ammonia is synthesized through a series of reactions (called the Haber-Bosch process) that take place between methane, air (which is four parts N2, one part O2), and potassium carbonate: 7 CH4(g) + 8 N2(g) +2 O2(g) + 17 H2O(g) + 7 K2CO3(s) ?? 16 NH3(g) + 14 KHCO3(s)
What is the equilibrium expression for the Harber-Bosch process?

K = [NH₃]¹⁶ [KHCO₃]¹⁴ / [CH₄]⁷ [N₂]⁸ [O₂]² [H₂O]¹⁷ [K₂CO₃]⁷

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is given below:

7CH₄(g) + 8N₂(g) +2O₂(g) + 17H₂O(g) + 7K₂CO₃(s) —> 16NH₃(g) + 14KHCO₃(s)

Equilibrium constant (K) =..?

Equilibrium constant, K for a reaction is simply defined as the ratio of the concentration of the products raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactants raised to their coefficient.

Thus, the equilibrium expression for the Harber-Bosch process for the synthesis of ammonia can be written as shown below:

K = [NH₃]¹⁶ [KHCO₃]¹⁴ / [CH₄]⁷ [N₂]⁸ [O₂]² [H₂O]¹⁷ [K₂CO₃]⁷

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
