Question

Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia as described by the chemical equation below:

N2 + 2 H2 → 2 NH3

If you start with 2 moles of N2, how many moles of NH3 can you make?

Fill in the t-chart below to answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 moles

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of N2 produced 2 moles of NH3.

Therefore, 2 moles of N2 will produce = 2x2 = 4 moles of NH3.

Therefore, if we start with 2 moles of N2, then, we will produce 4 moles of NH3
