Question

Fritz-Haber process

if 7.5 X 10^5 L of hydrogen are consumed, how many liters of ammonia are produced (at the same temperature and pressure)?

Answer 1

5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above, we can say that:

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Finally, we shall determine the volume of ammonia (NH3) produced by the reaction of 7.5×10⁵ L of H2. This can be obtained as illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

3 L of H2 reacted to produce 2 L of NH3.

Therefore, 7.5×10⁵ L of H2 will react to produce = (7.5×10⁵ × 2)/3 = 5×10⁵ L of NH3.

Thus, 5×10⁵ L of ammonia (NH3) is produced from the reaction.
