  • Calculating Ammonia Production from Nitrogen and Hydrogen
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Convert grams to moles:

    * Nitrogen (N2):

    - Molar mass of N2 = 28.02 g/mol

    - Moles of N2 = (2.00 g) / (28.02 g/mol) = 0.0714 mol

    * Hydrogen (H2):

    - Molar mass of H2 = 2.02 g/mol

    - Moles of H2 = (3.00 g) / (2.02 g/mol) = 1.49 mol

    2. Determine the limiting reactant:

    * The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of N2 reacts with 3 moles of H2.

    * We have 0.0714 mol of N2, which would require 3 * 0.0714 = 0.214 mol of H2.

    * Since we have more than enough H2 (1.49 mol), N2 is the limiting reactant.

    3. Calculate moles of NH3 produced:

    * The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of N2 produces 2 moles of NH3.

    * Moles of NH3 produced = 0.0714 mol N2 * (2 mol NH3 / 1 mol N2) = 0.143 mol NH3

    Therefore, 0.143 moles of NH3 can be produced.
