Chemistry Question on Stoichiometry and Stoichiometric Calculations
20.0 kg of H2(g) and 30 kg of H2(g) are reacted to produce NH3(g). The amount of NH3(g). formed is
A
62 kg
B
17 kg
C
42 kg
D
82 kg
Answer
17 kg
Explanation
Solution
The correct option is (B): 17 kg
The reaction is:
N 2(28g)+3 H 2(6g)→2 NH 3(34g)
The limiting reactant is H 2.
The weight of NH 3 obtained from 6×10−3 kg of H2 is 34×10−3kg
Therefore, the weight of NH 3 obtained from 3 kg of H 2 is:
6×10−334×10−3×3=17KgNH3
=17 Kg.
