Answer to Question #107224 in General Chemistry for Christian Diaz

Question

N2 + 3H2= 2NH3

If a sample of 3 mole of hydrogen gas (H2) was reacted, how many miles of ammonia (NH3) gas would be produced ?

Answer 1

Solution:

The equation of a chemical reaction:

N₂ + 3H₂= 2NH₃ 

According to the chemical equation: n(N₂) = n(H₂)/3 = n(NH₃)/2.

Consequently,

n(H₂)/3 = n(NH₃)/2;

n(NH₃) = 2 * n(H₂) / 3;

n(NH₃) = (2 * 3) / 3 = 2 (moles).

n(NH₃) = 2 moles of ammonia.

Answer: 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃) gas would be produced.
