10 g of nitrogen is reacted with 5.0 g of hydrogen to produce ammonia according to the chemical equation shown below.Which one of the following statements is false?
N₂(g) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 NH₃(g)

Question

10 g of nitrogen is reacted with 5.0 g of hydrogen to produce ammonia according to the chemical equation shown below.Which one of the following statements is false? N₂(g)+ 3 H₂(g)→ 2 NH₃(g)

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The theoretical yield of ammonia is not 15 g. The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of N2 reacts with 3 moles of H2 to produce 2 moles of NH3. Calculating the moles of N2 and H2, we find that N2 is the limiting reactant, and the theoretical yield of NH3 is approximately 12.14 g, not 15 g.
