Detailed Solution

Reaction quotient QP=PNH32PN2PH23                                          =(0.3)2(1)2(2)3                                          =1.125×10-2 atm-2As the reaction quotient under the given conditions is greater than equilibrium constant QP>KP, the net reaction proceed in backward direction to attain equilibrium.
