it takes 1 molecule nitrogen and 3 molecules of hydrogen to produce 2 moles of ammonia using this formula 1N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3 identify which combination of molecules will produce ammonia with no leftovers

Answer 1

To produce ammonia (NH₃) using the reaction:

\[ N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3 \]

1 mole of nitrogen (N₂) reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen (H₂) to produce 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃).

To produce ammonia with no leftover reactants, you need to maintain the stoichiometric ratio from the equation, which means the combinations must follow the ratio of 1:3:2 for N₂:H₂:NH₃.

Here are a few combinations of molecules that will produce ammonia with no leftover reactants:

• 1 Mole N₂ + 3 Moles H₂:

  • Produces 2 Moles NH₃

• 2 Moles N₂ + 6 Moles H₂:

  • Produces 4 Moles NH₃

• 3 Moles N₂ + 9 Moles H₂:

  • Produces 6 Moles NH₃

Any combination that maintains the ratio of 1 mole of N₂ to 3 moles of H₂ will yield ammonia without any leftover. For every mole of N₂, you must use exactly 3 moles of H₂. If you use different amounts, you must ensure they adhere to this ratio.
