Billy Mueller · Answer 1

Reaction involved in present system is : N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

In present reaction, 1 mol of N2 react with 3 moles of H2 to generate 2 moles of NH3

Thus, 2 moles of NH3 ≡ 3 moles of H2

Therefore, 15 moles of NH3 ≡ (3X15) / 2 = 22.5 moles of H2.

We know that, 1 mole of H2 ≡ 2 g

Therefore, 22.5 moles of H2 ≡ 2 X 22.5 = 45 g

Thus, 45 g of hydrogen are needed to produce 15.0 mol of ammonia, if the reaction goes to completion
