Question

The Haber process generates ammonia from nitrogen and
hydrogen gas through the following chemical equation.
N2 + 3H2 + 2NH3
Which is the excess reagent in the Haber reaction if equal
moles of Hydrogen and Nitrogen are used?

Answer 1

The Haber process generates ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gas, and nitrogen gas is the excess reagent.

What is stoichiometry?

Stoichiometry of reaction tells about the relative amount of reactants and products after and before the chemical reaction.

Given chemical reaction is:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

From the stoichiometry of the reaction it is given that:

1 mole of N₂ = produce 2 moles of NH₃

3 moles of H₂ = produce 2 moles of NH₃

1 moles of H₂ = produce 2/3=0.66 moles of NH₃

So, nitrogen is present in the excess quantity.

Hence, nitrogen gas is the excess reagent.
