Question

How many moles of NH₃ can be produced from 4.81 moles of nitrogen in the following reaction:

N₂ (g) + 3 H₂ (g) → 2 NH₃ (g)

Answer 1

9.62moles of NH₃

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of nitrogen = 4.81moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of NH₃ = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to establish a balanced reaction equation:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

Now, we can solve the problem by working from the known to the unknown.

1 mole of N₂ produced 2 moles of NH₃

4.81moles of N₂ will produce 2 x 4.81 = 9.62moles of NH₃
