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
​To find : 
Volume of  NH3 formed = ? 

Solution : 
           N2 + 3H2 2NH3
From the reaction it can be seen clearly that 1 volume of N2 is required to react with 3 volume of H​2 to give 2 volumes of NH3
1 volume of N2 react with  3 volume of H2
2 L of N2 react with  3×2 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  23 volume of NH3
​2 L of H2 produce  2×23  L of NH3 = 1.33 L of NH3
Therefore, 1.33 L of NH3 is formed.
