2. $4\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 5\text{O}_2\text{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 4\text{NO}_{(g)} + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(g)}$
-
3. $2\text{NO}_{(g)} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 4\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 3\text{O}_2\text{(g)}$
-
4. $\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 3\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NO}_{(g)} + 3\text{O}_2\text{(g)}$
Solution:
$\text{Hint: Use the general expression of } K_c \text{ for a balanced reaction.}$
$\text{Step 1: Write down the given expression of } K_c$
$K_c = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^4[\text{O}_2]^5}{[\text{NO}]^4[\text{H}_2\text{O}]^6}$
$\text{Step 2: Write down the balanced reaction by seeing } K_c \text{ expression}$
$\text{The balanced chemical equation corresponding to the given expression can be written as:}$
$4\text{NO}_{(g)} + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 4\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 5\text{O}_2\text{(g)}$
$\text{Analysis of the } K_c \text{ expression:}$
$\text{General form: } K_c = \frac{[\text{Products}]^{\text{coefficients}}}{[\text{Reactants}]^{\text{coefficients}}}$
$\text{From the given expression:}$
$\text{• Products (numerator): NH}_3 \text{ with coefficient 4, O}_2 \text{ with coefficient 5}$
$\text{• Reactants (denominator): NO with coefficient 4, H}_2\text{O} \text{ with coefficient 6}$
$\text{Therefore, the balanced equation is:}$
$4\text{NO}_{(g)} + 6\text{H}_2\text{O}_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons 4\text{NH}_3\text{(g)} + 5\text{O}_2\text{(g)}$
$\text{Verification: The } K_c \text{ expression for this equation would be:}$
$K_c = \frac{[\text{NH}_3]^4[\text{O}_2]^5}{[\text{NO}]^4[\text{H}_2\text{O}]^6}$ ✓
