B) 40%  
The balanced equation indicates that for every 3 moles of H2 used, 2 moles of NH3 will be produced. So the reaction if it had 100% yield would produce (2.00 / 3) * 2 = 1.333333333 moles of NH3. But only 0.54 moles were produced. So the percent yield is 0.54 / 1.3333 = 0.405 = 40.5%. This is a close enough match to option "b" to be considered correct.

Answer: The correct option is b.

Explanation: To calculate the percentage yield, we use the formula:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100   ....(1)

For a given reaction:

3H_2+N_2\rightarrow 2NH_3

  • Experimental yield calculations:

0.54 moles of ammonia is formed.

So, amount of ammonia formed will be calculated using the formula:

Moles=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      ....(2)

Molar mass of NH_3 = 17.031g/mol

0.54=\frac{\text{given mass}}{17.031}

Amount of NH_3 = 9.197g

Experimental yield : 9.197 g

  • Theoretical yield calculations:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction,

Here, limiting reagent is hydrogen gas because it limits the formation of product.

3 moles of hydrogen gas is producing 2 moles of ammonia

So, 2 moles of hydrogen gas will produce = \frac{2}{3}\times 2=1.33 moles of ammonia.

Amount of ammonia is calculated by using equation 2, we get:

1.33moles=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{17.031g/mol}

Theoretical yield of ammonia  =22.65 grams

Now, putting values in equation 1, we get:

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{9.197}{22.65}\times 100

% yield=40.60 %

Hence, the correct option is b.
