Question

2. How many molecules of ammonia can be created when four molecules of nitrogen are combined with four molecules of hydrogen

Answer 1

The number of molecules of ammonia formed are: 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of Nitrogen molecules is 4.

The number of Hydrogen molecules is 4.

The balanced chemical equation for formation of ammonia is:

N2 + 3H2 ----- 2NH3

According to the above equation, 3 molecules of H2 require one molecule of N2.

So, 4 molecules of H2 will require 4/3 molecules of N2

Hydrogen acts as a limiting reagent. This means that the number of ammonia molecules produced depends only on the number of hydrogen molecules.

Therefore, for 4 molecules of Hydrogen, the number of ammonia molecules produced is 8/3
