  • Stoichiometry: Calculating Moles of Hydrogen Needed for Ammonia Production
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Balanced Chemical Equation:

    The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

    N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

    2. Mole Ratios:

    The balanced equation tells us the mole ratios:

    * 1 mole of N₂ reacts with 3 moles of H₂ to produce 2 moles of NH₃

    3. Determine Moles of Reactants:

    You're asking how many moles are needed to react. Since we have a 1:3 ratio of N₂ to H₂, we need 3 times the number of moles of H₂ compared to N₂.

    4. Answer:

    Therefore, to react two moles of N₂, you would need 6 moles of H₂.

    So the correct answer is (c).
