Question

How many moles of ammonia could be obtained from a maximum of 5.0 moles of nitrogen​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 moles of ammonia could be obtained from a maximum of 5.0 moles of nitrogen​.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

• N₂: 1 mole
• H₂: 3 moles
• NH₃: 2 moles

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of nitrogen produces 2 moles of ammonia, 5 moles of nitrogen produces how many moles of ammonia?

$moles of ammonia=\frac{5 moles of nitrogen*2 moles of ammonia}{1 mole of nitrogen}$

moles of ammonia= 10

10 moles of ammonia could be obtained from a maximum of 5.0 moles of nitrogen​.
