The Haber process for producing ammonia commercially is represented by the following equation:rnn2(g) + 3h2(g) → 2nh3(g)rnrnto completely convert 9.0 mol hydrogen gas to ammonia gas, how many moles of nitrogen gas are required?

Accepted Answer

From the balanced chemical equation, we see that 3 moles of hydrogen gas (H2) react with 1 mole of nitrogen gas (N2) to produce 2 moles of ammonia gas (NH3). Therefore, to completely convert 9.0 moles of hydrogen gas, we need 9.0 moles H2
(1 mole N2 / 3 moles H2) = 3.0 moles of nitrogen gas.
