If 5.0 moles of ammonia is produced, then the number of hydrogen molecules consumed is ________. N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From the balanced chemical equation, we can see that for every 3 moles of hydrogen molecules consumed, 2 moles of ammonia are produced. Thus, we can set up a proportion:
3 H₂ / 2 NH₃ = x H₂ / 5 NH₃
Cross-multiplying, we get:
3 H₂ * 5 NH₃ = 2 NH₃ * x H₂
15 H₂ = 2x H₂
x = 7.5
Therefore, the number of hydrogen molecules consumed is 7.5.
