Answer:

Hydrogen is the excess reactant

Nitrogen is the limiting reactant

151.6g is theoretical yield

Explanation:

The reaction of N₂ with H₂ to produce NH₃ is:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

To find theoretical yield we need to determine limiting reactant with the moles of each gas as follows:

Nitrogen -Molar mass: 28g/mol-

125.0g * (1mol / 28g) = 4.46 moles

Hydrogen -Molar mass: 2g/mol-

125.0g * (1mol / 2g) = 62.5 moles of hydrogen

For a complete reaction of 4.46 moles of N2 there are needed:

4.46 moles N2 * (3moles H2 / 1mol N2) = 13.38 moles of hydrogen

As there are 62.5 moles of hydrogen:

<h3>Hydrogen is the excess reactant</h3><h3>Nitrogen is the limiting reactant</h3><h3 />

With nitrogen, the limiting reactant, we determine theoretical moles (Assuming 100% of the reaction occurs) and theoretical yield (In mass):

4.46 moles N2 * (2moles NH3 / 1mol N2) = 8.92 moles of ammonia

As molar mass of ammonia is 17g/mol:

8.92 moles of ammonia * (17g/mol) =

<h3>151.6g is theoretical yield</h3>

If your car gets 30.3 mi/gal, how many gallons of gasoline would you use if you drove 506.3 miles? 1 mile = 5280 ft (exactly) In
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer: 16.7 gallon

Explanation:

Given: The car can drive 30.3 miles when 1 gallon of gasoline is used.

Distance covered = 506.3 miles

Thus for 30.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used= 1 gallon

For 506.3 miles, the amount of gasoline used=\frac{1}{30.3}\times 506.3=16.7gallon

Thus the amount of gasoline used is 16.7 gallons.
