Question -

Dinitrogen and dihydrogen react with each other to produceammonia according to the following chemical equation:

N2(g) + H2(g) →2NH3(g)

(i) Calculate the mass of ammonia producedif 2.00 × 103 g dinitrogen reacts with 1.00 × 103 gof dihydrogen.

(ii) Will any of the two reactants remain unreacted?

(iii) If yes, which one and what would be its mass?



Answer -

(i) Balancing the given chemical equation,

From the equation, 1 mole (28 g) of dinitrogen reacts with3 mole (6 g) of dihydrogen to give 2 mole (34 g) of ammonia.

2.00 × 103 g of dinitrogen will react with 

 dihydrogen i.e.,

2.00 × 103 g of dinitrogenwill react with 428.6 g of dihydrogen.

Given,

Amount of dihydrogen = 1.00 × 103 g

Hence, N2 is the limitingreagent.

28 g of N2 produces34 g of NH3.

Hence, mass of ammonia produced by 2000 g of N2

= 2428.57 g

(ii) N2 is the limitingreagent and H2 is the excess reagent. Hence, H2 willremain unreacted.

(iii) Mass of dihydrogen left unreacted =1.00 × 103 g – 428.6 g

= 571.4 g
