Question

For the following reaction:

N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3
What mass of NH3 can be produced from 14.9g N2 and 3.8 g H2 ?

Answer 1

Nitrogen is the limiting reactant, and

3.74

grams of ammonia is formed.

Explanation:

We have the familiar Haber process equation...

Since the mole ratio of

N

to

H

is

:

3

, then for every mole of nitrogen, we would need three moles of hydrogen.
