Question

How many moles of N2 is needed to produce 9 moles of NH3

Answer 1

Answer:

$3\text{ moles}$

Explanation:

Here, we want to know the number of moles of nitrogen needed to produce 9 moles of ammonia

From the equation of reaction given:

1 mole of nitrogen gas produced 3 moles of ammonia gas

Thus:

x moles of nitrogen gas will produce 9 moles of ammonia gas

Mathematically:

$\begin{gathered} x\times\text{ 3 = 1 }\times9 \\ x\text{ = }\frac{9}{3} \\ x\text{ =3} \end{gathered}$

What this means is that 3 moles of nitrogen gas are required to produce 9 moles of ammonia gas according to the given equation
