Answer to Question #324295 in Chemistry for Fish

Question

Ammonia is an important industrial raw material that is produced industrially by the Haber process according to this equation: N2+3H2 -> 2NH3. How many moles of NH3 can be formed from 250moles of N2 and 600 moles of H2? (N=14, H=1).

Answer 1

N₂+3H₂ = 2NH₃

According to the equation, n (NH₃) = 2 x n (N₂) = 2/3 x n (H₂).

Given amount of reactants can result in the following amount of NH₃:

n (NH₃) = 2 x n (N₂) = 2 x 250 = 500 mol

n (NH₃) = 2/3 x n (H₂) = 2/3 x 600 = 400 mol

Therefore, H₂ is the limiting reactant resulting in 400mol of NH₃.
