Question

Yield for this reaction?
Reaction: N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3 (g)

Answer 1

Yes, yield.

Step-by-step explanation:

N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3 (g) balanced equation

First, find limiting reactant:

Moles H2 = 1.83 g x 1 mole/2 g = 0.915 moles H2

Moles N2 = 9.84 g N2 x 1 mole/28 g = 0.351 moles N2

The mole ratio of H2: N2 is 3:1, so H2 is limiting (0.915 is less than 3 x 0.351)

Theoretical yield of NH3 = 0.915 mol H2 x 2 mol NH3/3 mol H2 = 0.61 moles NH3
