Question

How many moles of ammonia can be formed from 4.0 mol H2

Answer 1

Answer: 1. 2.7 moles  of ammonia are formed

2. 12.0 moles  of hydrogen are required

3. 2.0 moles of nitrogen are required

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation is:

$N_2+3H_2\rightarrow 2NH_3$

According to stoichiometry:

3 moles of hydrogen form = 2 moles of ammonia

Thus 4.0 moles of hydrogen form =$\frac{2}{3}\times 4.0=2.7moles$ of ammonia

According to stoichiometry:

2 moles of ammonia are formed by = 3 moles of hydrogen

Thus 8.0 moles of ammonia are formed by  =$\frac{3}{2}\times 8.0=12.0moles$ of hydrogen

According to stoichiometry:

3 moles of hydrogen react with = 1 mole of nitrogen

Thus 6.0 moles of hydrogen react with =$\frac{1}{3}\times 6.0=2.0moles$ of nitrogen
