Question

Ammonia, nh3, for fertilizer is made by causing hydrogen and nitrogen to react at high temperature and pressure. How many moles of ammonia can be made from 0.15 moles of nitrogen gas? _h2+_02 to _nh3

Answer 1

Answer:

$0.30molNH_3$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the reaction for the formation of ammonia is:

$3H_2+N_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$

We can evidence the 1:2 mole ratio of nitrogen gas to ammonia; therefore, the appropriate stoichiometric setup for the calculation of the moles of the latter turns out to be:

$0.15molN_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{1molN_2}$

And the result is:

$0.30molNH_3$
