Answer 1

theoretical yield of the reaction is 121.38 g of NH₃ (ammonia)

limiting reactant is N₂ (nitrogen)

excess reactant is H₂ (hydrogen)

Explanation:

We have the following chemical reaction:

N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

Now we calculate the number of moles of each reactant:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of N₂ = 100 / 28 = 3.57 moles

number of moles of H₂ = 100 / 2 = 50 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 3 moles of H₂ are reacting with 1 moles of N₂, so 50 moles of H₂ are reacting with 16.66 moles of N₂ but we only have 3.57 moles of  N₂ available, so the limiting reactant will be N₂ and the excess reactant will be H₂.

Knowing the chemical reaction and the limiting reactant we devise the following reasoning:

if          1 mole of N₂ produce 2 moles of NH₃

then    3.57 moles of N₂ produce X moles of NH₃

X = (3.57 × 2) / 1 = 7.14 moles of NH₃

mass = number of moles × molar weight

mass of NH₃ = 7.14 × 17 = 121.38 g

theoretical yield of the reaction is 121.38 g of NH₃
