Ammonia under a pressure of $15$ atm at $27\,^oC$ is heated to $347\,^oC$ in a closed vessel in the presence of a catalyst. Under the conditions, $N{H_3}$ is partially decomposed according to the equation, $2N{H_3}$ $\rightleftharpoons$ ${N_2} + 3{H_2}$.The vessel is such that the volume remains effectively constant where as pressure increases to $50$ $atm.$ Calculate the percentage of $N{H_3}$ actually decomposed........$\%$
