How many moles of ammonia could be obtained from a maximum of 5.0 moles of nitrogen​

10 moles of ammonia could be obtained from a maximum of 5.0 moles of nitrogen​.

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃

By reaction stoichiometry (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction), the following amounts of moles of each compound participate in the reaction:

Then you can apply the following rule of three: if by reaction stoichiometry 1 mole of nitrogen produces 2 moles of ammonia, 5 moles of nitrogen produces how many moles of ammonia?

moles of ammonia= 10

10 moles of ammonia could be obtained from a maximum of 5.0 moles of nitrogen​.

58 km per hour : d

n2(g) + 3h2-> 2nh3(g)   this is the balanced equation

note the mole ratio between n2, h2 and nh3.   it is 1 : 3 : 2   this will be important.

moles n2 present = 28.0 g n2 x 1 mole n2/28 g = 1 mole n2 present

moles h2 present = 25.0 g h2 x 1 mole h2/2 g = 12.5 moles h2 present

based on mole ratio, n2 is limiting in this situation because there is more than enough h2 but not enough n2.

moles nh3 that can be produced = 1 mole n2 x 2 moles nh3/mole n2 = 2 moles nh3 can be produced

grams of nh3 that can be produced = 2 moles nh3 x 17 g/mole = 34 grams of nh3 can be produced

note:   the key to this problem is recognizing that n2 is limiting, and therefore limits how much nh3 can be produced.
