experts please give me a clear explanantion of the solution of this problem
Dear Student,
N2 + 3H2 ---------> 2NH3
Number of moles of N2 = 50kg X 1000g/1kgx1mole/28g
= 17.86 x 102 mol
Number of moles of H2 = 10kg x1000g/1kgx 1mol/2.016g
= 4.96 x 103 mol
According to the balanced reaction :
17.86 x 102 mol of N2 will react with = 3/1 x 17.86 x 102
= 5.36 x 103 mol
since number of moles of H2 are 4.96 x 103
Therefore dihydrogen is the limiting reagent.
