Question

The Haber process for producing ammonia commercially is represented by the equation N2(g) + 3H2(g) ® 2NH3(g).

To completely convert 1.5 mol hydrogen gas to ammonia gas (NH3 ), how many moles of nitrogen gas are required?

Answer 1

N2 + 3H2 ------> NH3

2 : 3

mol mol

x : 1.5

x=1.5 × 2÷3

x=3.0÷3

x=1.0 mol
