At 500 K , for the reaction $$\mathrm{N}_2(\mathrm{~g})+3 \mathrm{H}_2(\mathrm{~g}) \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_3(\mathrm{~g})$$, the $$K_p$$ is $$0.036 \mathrm{~atm}^{-2}$$. What is its $$K_C$$ in $$\mathrm{L}^2 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$$ ? $$\left(R=0.082 \mathrm{~L}^2\right.$$ atom $$\left.\mathrm{mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right)$$.

The formation of ammonia from its constituent elements is an exothermic reaction. The effect of increased temperature on the reaction equilibrium is
