How many moles of NH3 can be produced when 11.00 mol H2 react with 5.00 mol N2?
_________mol NH3
How many moles of each reactant are left over? Note that at least one must disappear.
______mol H2 remain
_______mol N2 remain
N2 + 3 H2 -------------------> 2 NH3
1mol 3 mol 2 mol
5 mol 11 mol ?
here limiting reagent is H2. so NH3 formed based on that.
3 mol H2 -------------- 2 mol NH3
11 mol H2 -------------- ?? NH3
moles of NH3 produced = 11 x 2 / 3
= 7.33 mol NH3
we need only 3.67 mol of N2. here we have 5 mol of N2 . so N2 is left over
moles of N2 remain = 5 - 3.67 = 1.33 mol N2
moles of H2 = 0 . it all consumed
