A sample of 23.2 g of nitrogen gas is reacted with 23.2 g of hydrogen gas to produce ammonia, NH3.
Using the balanced equation below, what is the
maximum amount, in moles, of ammonia that can be
produced?
N2 + 3H2
2NH3
IN
[?] moles NH3

1.66 moles.

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole in 23.2 g of nitrogen gas, N2.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of N2 = 2x14 = 28 g/mol

Mass of N2 = 23.2 g

Mole of N2 =.?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of N2 = 23.2/28

Mole of N2 = 0.83 mole

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 23.2 g of Hydrogen gas, H2.

This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of H2 = 2x1 = 2 g/mol

Mass of H2 = 23.2 g

Mole of H2 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of H2 = 23.2/2

Mole of H2 = 11.6 moles

Next, the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

N2 + 3H2 —> 2NH3

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted with 3 moles of H2 to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Next, we shall determine the limiting reactant. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted with 3 moles of H2.

Therefore, 0.83 moles will react with = (0.83 x 3) = 2.49 moles of H2.

From the calculations made above, we can see that only 2.49 moles out of 11.6 moles of H2 is required to react completely with 0.83 mole of N2.

Therefore, N2 is the limiting reactant.

Finally, we shall determine the maximum amount of NH3 produced from the reaction.

In this case, we shall use the limiting reactant because it will give the maximum yield of NH3 since all of it is consumed in the reaction.

The limiting reactant is N2 and the maximum amount of NH3 produced can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 reacted to produce 2 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 0.83 mole of N2 will react to produce = (0.83 x 2) = 1.66 moles of NH3.

Therefore, the maximum amount of NH3 produced from the reaction is 1.66 moles.

when [oh-] is 10-5  m, and [h3o+] is 10-9  m, the poh is 5 and ph is 9. again in both cases the sum of ph and poh is 14. however, the hydrogen ion concentration is not always going to be equal to exactly 1 x 10 raised to a negative number. for example, we skipped over the value of 2.0 x 10-7.
