Question

How many moles of NH3 will be produced if 2 moles of N2 reacts with excess H2 gas?

Answer 1

2 moles of N₂ will produce 4 moles of NH₃

Explanation:

Equation of reaction

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

The process above is the Born-Harber method of producing ammonia NH₃ industrially.

From the equation of reaction,

1 moles of N₂ will produce 2 moles of NH₃

1 moles N₂ = 2 moles NH₃

2 moles of N₂ = x moles of NH₃

x = (2*2) / 1 = 4moles of NH₃

2 moles of N₂ will produce 4 moles of NH₃
