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).
