Final answer:

To use up 32.6 grams of N₂, it takes 7.03 grams of H₂.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the grams of H₂ that will react with 32.6 grams of N₂, we need to use the balanced equation:

N₂ (g) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 NH₃ (g)

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of N₂ reacts with 3 moles of H₂ to produce 2 moles of NH₃. Using the molar masses of N₂ (28.02 g/mol) and H₂ (2.02 g/mol),

we can calculate the number of moles of N₂ and H₂ in 32.6 grams of N₂:

32.6 g N₂ × (1 mol / 28.02 g) = 1.16 mol N₂

1.16 mol N₂ × (3 mol H₂ / 1 mol N₂) = 3.48 mol H₂

Therefore, we need 3.48 moles of H₂, which is equivalent to:

3.48 mol H₂ × (2.02 g / 1 mol) = 7.03 grams of H₂
