The industrial nitrogen fixing reaction used in the preparation of fertilizers and other nitrogen containing compounds is called the Haber process. The chemical equation for this process is shown below. According to this reaction, how many moles of ammonia would you produce if you reacted one mole of N₂ with three moles of H₂? N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the balanced chemical equation, for every mole of N₂ and three moles of H₂, two moles of ammonia (NH₃) are produced. Therefore, if we react one mole of N₂ with three moles of H₂, we would produce two moles of ammonia.
