Question

Read the chemical equation.

N2 + 3H2 - 2NH3
Using the volume ratio, determine how many liters of NH3 is produced if 4.2 liters of H2 reacts with an excess of N2
if all measurements are taken at the same temperature and pressure?
A 2.8 liters
B 3.2 liters
C 5.4 liters
D 6.3 liters

Answer 1

A 2.8 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

N₂ + 3 H₂ ⇄ 2 NH₃

Step 2: Establish the appropriate volume ratio

At the same temperature and pressure, the volume ratio of H₂ to NH₃ is 3:2.

Step 3: Calculate the volume of ammonia produced from 4.2 L of hydrogen

4.2 L H₂ × 2 L NH₃/3 L H₂ = 2.8 L
