When 1 mole of nitrogen gas (N ) reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas (H ), how many moles

Question

of ammonia (NH ) are produced? (1 point)
2 2
3
1 mole
2 moles
3 moles
4 moles

Answer 1

The balanced chemical reaction for the synthesis of ammonia (NH₃) from nitrogen gas (N₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂) is:

\[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightarrow 2NH_3(g) \]

From the equation, we see that 1 mole of nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas to produce 2 moles of ammonia.

Therefore, when 1 mole of nitrogen gas reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃) are produced.

Thus, the correct answer is 2 moles.
