Question

Ammonia is produced industrially from the reaction of nitrogenand hydrogen. Write the balanced chemical equation for thisreaction, and determine the largest mass of NH3 thatcould be produced from the reaction of 105g of N2 and15g of H2.

Explanation / Answer

The balanced Equation is   N2 + 3H2 --->2NH3 Molar mass of N2 = 2 * 14 = 28 g Molar mass of H2 is = 2 * 1= 2 g Molar mass of NH3 is = 14 + 3 * 1= 17 g 3 * 2 g of H2 requires 28 g of N2 15 g of H2 requires X g of N2 X = ( 28 * 15 ) / 6     = 70 g So , 105 - 70 = 35 g of N2 is left unreacted 6 g of H2 produces 2 * 17 g of NH3 15 g of H2 produces Y g of NH3 Y = ( 2 * 17 * 15 ) / 6     = 85 g of NH3
