I need to somehow find the partial pressures of all 3 species when it's in equilibrium. It has given key info such as total pressure = 150 kPa and mole fraction of NH3 to be 0.80
I know that mole fraction = number of moles of a gas / number of moles of all gases
And partial pressure = mole fraction * total pressure
From this I thought the first thing to do ideally was to construct an ICE table which will help find all the number of moles of each entity, but no where in the Q can I see what the initial moles of each gas is or moles of gas during equilibrium.
You can't say the mixture originally had 6 moles of gas in total as this only looking at the molar ratio of the equation. But I have a gut feeling that is maybe wrong to say?

Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks
Nitrogen and hydrogen start off in a ratio of 1:3 and this is the ratio in which they react, hence they must also be in a ratio of 1:3 in the equilibrium mixture.
The mole fraction of ammonia is 0.8, so the mole fraction of nitrogen and hydrogen put together must be 0.2
