How many moles of NH3 can be produced from 15.0 mol of H2 and excess N2?

Question

Express your answer numerically in moles.

Answer 1

For every one mole of NH₃ to be produced, you must use one and a half moles of H₂. The excess N₂ signifies the limiting molecule in this reaction is the Hydrogen Gas. Therefore, 15 moles of H₂ divided by 1.5 moles H₂ needed for the product equals 10 moles NH₃.
