How many molecules of ammonia can be created when four molecules of nitrogen are combined with four molecules of hydrogen? Include a drawing of the molecules in your answer.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of molecules of ammonia formed are: $\frac{8}{3}$

Explanation:

The number of Nitrogen molecules is 4.

The number of Hydrogen molecules is 4.

The balanced chemical equation for formation of ammonia is:

$N_{2}+3H_{2}\longrightarrow3NH_{3}$

According to the above equation, 3 molecules of $H_{2}$ require one molecule of $N_{2}$.

So, 4 molecules of  $H_{2}$  will require  $\frac{4}{3}$ molecules of $N_{2}$.

Hydrogen, $H_{2}$ acts as a limiting reagent. This means that the number of ammonia molecules produced depends only on the number of hydrogen molecules.

Therefore, for 4 molecules of Hydrogen, the number of ammonia molecules produced is  $\frac{8}{3}$.
