Answer to Question #116625 in General Chemistry for Siranjeevi

Question

In chemical industries the following chemical reaction is used to produce ammonia in
large scale

N2+3H2 2NH3

Based on mole concept, calculate the mass of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas required in
kilogram to produce 1000 kg of ammonia by using the above chemical equation

Answer 1

N2+3H2= 2NH3

1) m(N2)=1000 kg * 28 g / 34 g = 823.5 kg

2) m(H2)=1000 kg * 6 g / 34 g = 176.47 kg
