1.38 g H2 is allowed to react with 10.2 g N2 , producing 2.64 g NH3 .
N2 + 3 H2 -----------------------> 2 NH3
28 g 6 g 34 g
10.2g 1.38 g ?
28 g N2 ---------------------> 6 g H2
10.2 g N2 ---------------------> 10 .2 x 6 / 28 = 2.19 g
actally we need 2.19 g of H2 but we have 1.38 g H2 . so
limiting reagent is H2
6 g H2 ----------------------> 34 g NH3
1.38 g H2 ------------------> 1.38 x 34 / 6 = 7.82 g
theoretical yield = 7.82 g
actal yield = 2.64 g
percent yield = ( 2.64 / 7.82 ) x 100
= 33.8 %
