if 2 litres of n2 is mixed with 2 litres of h2 calculate the volume of nh3 formed
Given :
Volume of N2 = 2 L
Volume of H2 = 2 L
βTo find :
Volume of NH3 formed = ?
Solution :
From the reaction it can be seen clearly that 1 volume of N2 is required to react with 3 volume of Hβ2 to give 2 volumes of NH3
1 volume of N2 react with 3 volume of H2
2 L of N2 react with 32 L of H2 = 6 L of H2
But we only have 2 L of H2.
Therefore, H2 is the limiting reagent.
3 volumes of H2 produce 2 volumes of NH3
1 volume of H2 produce volume of NH3
β2 L of H2 produce L of NH3 = 1.33 L of NH3
Therefore, 1.33 L of NH3 is formed.
