  • Ammonia Production: Calculating Moles from Hydrogen Reactants
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Balanced Chemical Equation:

    The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia is:

    N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

    2. Mole Ratio:

    The balanced equation tells us that 3 moles of hydrogen (H₂) react to produce 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃).

    3. Calculation:

    * Start with the given moles of hydrogen: 7.5 moles H₂

    * Use the mole ratio from the balanced equation: (2 moles NH₃ / 3 moles H₂)

    * Multiply to find moles of ammonia: 7.5 moles H₂ × (2 moles NH₃ / 3 moles H₂) = 5 moles NH₃

    Answer: You can make 5 moles of ammonia if 7.5 moles of hydrogen react with enough nitrogen.
