Answer:
The answer to your question is below
Explanation:
For the reaction N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3, if you have 2.00 moles of N2 and 4.00 moles of H2 : a. Identify the limiting reactant. ____________
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
1 mol 3 moles 2 moles
Given 2 moles 4 moles
Rule of three for N2
x = (2 x 3) / 1 = 6 mol of H2, it means that is needed 6 moles of H2 and there are only 4, so the limiting reactant is H2
b. How many moles of NH3 can be formed? ____________
rule of three
3 moles of H2 --------------------- 2 moles of NH3
4 moles of H2 --------------------- x
x = (4x2)/3 = 2.7 moles of NH3 are formed
c. How many moles of the excess reactant will remain? _________
x = (4 x 1) / 3 = 1.33
Excess reactant = 2 - 1.33 = 0.67 moles
