Question

Ammonia (NH3) can be synthesized from nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2) by the following reaction.

Answer 1

Answer:

                      %age Yield  =  66.05 %

Explanation:

                     In order to check the efficiency of a reaction the %age is calculated so that it can be concluded that either the conditions provided for certain reactions are favourable or not because at large scales reactions with greater %age yields are favoured as it results in high product quantity and hence, greater economical advantages.

                   The percent yield is given as;

                  %age Yield  =  Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield × 100

Putting values,

                   %age Yield  =  253 g / 383 g × 100

                   %age Yield  =  66.05 %

Hence, for the given reaction the success of the reaction is only 65% hence, steps can be made to improve this yield by modifying the reaction conditions.
