  • Calculating Ammonia Production from Hydrogen: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Balanced Chemical Equation

    The balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of ammonia (NH₃) from hydrogen (H₂) and nitrogen (N₂) is:

    N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

    2. Mole Ratio

    From the balanced equation, we see that 3 moles of H₂ react to produce 2 moles of NH₃. This gives us a mole ratio of 3:2 (H₂ : NH₃).

    3. Calculation

    * Start with the given moles of H₂: 1.5 moles H₂

    * Use the mole ratio to find moles of NH₃: (1.5 moles H₂) * (2 moles NH₃ / 3 moles H₂) = 1 mole NH₃

    Answer: 1.5 moles of H₂ will produce 1 mole of NH₃.
