Answer to Question #259426 in General Chemistry for blabla

Question

Ammonia is an important compound and useful to industries such as agricultural, pharmaceuticals, textile, plastics, petroleum, mining, and commercial. In the ammonia production, Haber process is utilized and it is shown as, N2(g) + 3H2(g) ➡️ 2NH3(g).

If there are 10.0 moles of ammonia produced, how many moles of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas react?

Answer 1

According to the reaction:

Two moles of NH₃ are produced from one mole of N₂

$n(N_2) = \frac{1}{2}n(NH_3) = \frac{1}{2} \times 10.0 = 5.0 \;moles$

Two moles of NH₃ are produced from three moles of H₂

$n(H_2) = \frac{3}{2}n(NH_3) = \frac{3}{2} \times 10.0 = 15.0 \;moles$
