Answer: Scientific reasoning

Explanation:

A scientific reasoning can be defined as the justification which connects the evidence with that of the claim and it rules out all those claims that are not supported by any evidence. It explains the fact that how evidence can support a claim and scientifically acceptable conclusion can be drawn. An argument is always based on one or more claims which can either be true or evidentially proved.

Ammonia is produced by the following reaction. 3H2(g) N2(g) Right arrow. 2NH3(g) When 7. 00 g of hydrogen react with 70. 0 g of

In the ammonia production process given by the reaction 3H₂(g) + N₂(g) → 2NH₃(g), when 7.00 g of hydrogen react with 70.0 g of nitrogen, hydrogen is considered the limiting reactant because 7.5 moles of hydrogen would be needed to consume the available nitrogen (option 1).

The reaction is the following:

3H₂(g) + N₂(g) → 2NH₃(g) (1)

To know why hydrogen is considered the limiting reactant, we need to calculate the number of moles of nitrogen and hydrogen with the following equation:

$n = \frac{m}{M}$

Where:

m: is the mass

M: is the molar mass

For hydrogen we have:

$n_{H_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{7.00 g}{2.016 g/mol} = 3.47 \:moles$

And for nitrogen:

$n_{N_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{70.0 g}{28.013 g/mol} = 2.50 \:moles$

We can see in reaction (1) that 3 moles of hydrogen react with 1 mol of nitrogen, so the number of hydrogen moles needed to react nitrogen is:

$n_{H_{2}} = \frac{3\:moles\:H_{2}}{1\:moles\:N_{2}}*n_{N_{2}} = \frac{3\:moles\:H_{2}}{1\:moles\:N_{2}}*2.50 \:moles = 7.50 \:moles$

Since we have 3.47 moles of hydrogen and we need 7.50 moles to react with all the mass of nitrogen, the limiting reactant is hydrogen.

We can find the number of ammonia moles produced with the limiting reactant (hydrogen) konwing that 3 moles of hydrogen produces 2 moles of ammonia, so:

$n_{NH_{3}} = \frac{2\:moles\:NH_{3}}{3\:moles\:H_{2}}*n_{H_{2}} = \frac{2\:moles\:NH_{3}}{3\:moles\:H_{2}}*3.47 \:moles = 2.31 \:moles$
