Question

Consider the reaction with the balanced equation, N2 + 3H2  2NH3. (a)Identify the limiting reactant under the reaction conditions shown in the molecular art. (b)What reactant molecules are left over in this reaction? (c)Draw a representation showing what the product mixture looks like when the reaction is complete.

Answer 1

To determine the limited reagent, it is necessary to know the amount of substances (in moles) of all reagents. They are usually calculated from masses, volumes or concentrations.
