Estimate the equilibrium concentration of N2(g). Consider the chemical reaction 2NH3(g)- N2(g) + 3H2(g). The equilibrium is to be established in a 1.0L container at 1,000K, where Kc = 4.0* 10^-2. Initially, 1,220 moles of NH3(g) are present.

Can you write down the expression for Kc?
Then, assume that x moles of NH3 dissociates to form N2 and H2. If x moles of NH3 dissociates, you'll gets x/2 moles of N2 and 3x moles of H2. From there, you get a final number of moles of NH3 as 1220-x moles.
Then, you use the expression I told you to get above and substitute in values, before solving for x, then, looking for x/2.
Can you post what you get? :)
As hard as it is to read, the question must be dealing with 1.200 moles of NH3, not 1,200 moles. 1.2 Moles is 20.4 grams. 1,200 mols is 20.4 Kg - a little much for a 1 liter container.
