What is the volume of ammonia produced at 243 K at a pressure of 1.38 atm by the unbalanced reaction on the left if 5740 moles of hydrogen are reacted with 1720 moles of nitrogen. Pick the closest value to your calculated answer.

49671 L is the produced volume of ammonia

Explanation:

We think the reaction of ammonia 's production:

N₂(g) + 3H₂(g)  → 2NH₃ (g)

We have the moles of each reactant so let's determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 1:3. 1 mol of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of H₂

Then, 1720 moles of N₂ will react with (1720 .3) /1 = 5160 moles of H₂

We have 5740 moles of hydrogen, so we have enough hydrogen. This is the excess reagent, so the limiting is the N₂

1 mol of N₂ can produce 2 moles of ammonia

Therefore 1720 moles of N₂ will produce (1720 . 2) /1 = 3440 moles of NH₃

We apply now, the Ideal Gases Law → P . V = n . R .T

V = (n . R . T) /P → V = (3440 mol . 0.082 L.atm/mol.K . 243K) / 1.38 atm

V = 49671 L

We confirm that the nitrogen was the limiting reactant

3 moles of H₂ need 1 mol of nitrogen to react

Therefore, 5740 moles of H₂ will react with (5740 . 1) /3 = 1913 moles of N₂

It was ok to say, that N₂ was the limiting reactant because we need 1913 moles in the reaction, and we only have 1720 moles

i think that is the right
