A reaction of nitrogen and sufficient hydrogen produced 30.0 g of ammonia, which is a 65.0% yield for the reaction. N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g)
How many grams of nitrogen reacted?
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ----------------> 2 NH3 (g)
% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield ) x 100
65 = ( 30 / theoretical ) x 100
theoretical yield of ammonia = 46.15 g
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) ----------------> 2 NH3 (g)
28 g 34 g
?? 46.15 g
mass of N2 reacted = 46.15 x 28 / 34
mass of N2 reacted = 38.0 g
