PLEASE HELP ME!!! ASAP

Answer 1

Answer:

Theoretical yield of the reaction = 34 g

Excess reactant is hydrogen

Limiting reactant is nitrogen

Explanation:

Given there is 100 g of nitrogen and 100 g of hydrogen

Number of moles of nitrogen = 100 ÷ 28 = 3·57

Number of moles of hydrogen = 100 ÷ 2 = 50

Reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen yields ammonia according to the following chemical equation

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

From the above chemical equation for every mole of nitrogen that reacts, 3 moles of hydrogen will be required and 2 moles of ammonia will be formed

Now we have 3·57 moles of nitrogen and therefore we require 3 × 3·57 moles of hydrogen

⇒ We require 10·71 moles of hydrogen

But we have 50 moles of hydrogen

∴ Limiting reactant is nitrogen and excess reactant is hydrogen

From the balanced chemical equation the yield will be 2 × 3·57 moles of ammonia

Molecular weight of ammonia = 17 g

∴ Theoretical yield of the reaction = 2 × 3·57 × 17 = 121·38 g
