4 moles

Answer 1

The reaction between nitrogen gas (N₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂) to produce ammonia (NH₃) can be represented by the balanced chemical equation:

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

From the balanced equation, we see that:

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

Given that you start with 1 mole of nitrogen gas and 3 moles of hydrogen gas, you will produce 2 moles of ammonia (NH₃).

So the correct response is:

2 moles.
