For a reaction, N _ 2 (g) + 3 H _ 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2N H _ 3 ( g ) ,...

For a reaction,
N2(g)+3H2(g)⟶2NH3(g){N}_{2}\left(g\right) + 3{H}_{2} ( g ) ⟶ 2N{H}_{3} ( g ), identify di-hydrogen (H2)( {H}_{2} ) as a limiting reagent in the following reaction mixtures.

Options

  1. A28gofN2+6gofH228gof{N}_{2} + 6gof{H}_{2}
  2. B35gofN2+8gofH235gof{N}_{2} + 8gof{H}_{2}
  3. C56gofN2+10gofH256gof{N}_{2} + 10gof{H}_{2}
  4. D14gofN2+4gofH214gof{N}_{2} + 4gof{H}_{2}

Correct answer

C. 56gofN2+10gofH256gof{N}_{2} + 10gof{H}_{2}

Step-by-step solution

N2(g)+3H2(g)→2NH3(g){\text{N}}_{2}\left(g\right) + 3{H}_{2}\left(g\right) \to 2N{H}_{3}\left(g\right)


moles ofN2stoichiometry ofN2≠mole ofH2stoichiometry ofH2\dfrac{\text{moles of}{N}_{2}}{\text{stoichiometry of}{\text{N}}_{2}} \ne \dfrac{\text{mole of}{\text{H}}_{2}}{\text{stoichiometry of}{\text{H}}_{2}}
Whose ratio is less called limiting reagent.


(a) mole of N2=2828=1{N}_{2} = \dfrac{28}{28} = 1
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of N2=11=1{N}_{2} = \dfrac{1}{1} = 1
mole of H2=62=3{H}_{2} = \dfrac{6}{2} = 3
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of H2=33=1{H}_{2} = \dfrac{3}{3} = 1
there is no limiting reagent.


(b) mole of N2=3528=1.25{N}_{2} = \dfrac{35}{28} = 1.25
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of N2=1.251{N}_{2} = \dfrac{1.25}{1} limiting reagent
mole of H2=82=4{H}_{2} = \dfrac{8}{2} = 4
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of H2=43=1.33{H}_{2} = \dfrac{4}{3} = 1.33


(c) mole of N2=5628=2{N}_{2} = \dfrac{56}{28} = 2
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of N2=21=2{N}_{2} = \dfrac{2}{1} = 2
mole of H2=102=5{H}_{2} = \dfrac{10}{2} = 5
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of H2=53=1.66{H}_{2} = \dfrac{5}{3} = 1.66 limiting reagent.


(d) mole of N2=1428=0.5{N}_{2} = \dfrac{14}{28} = 0.5
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of N2=0.51=0.5{N}_{2} = \dfrac{0.5}{1} = 0.5 limiting reagent
mole of H2=42=2{H}_{2} = \dfrac{4}{2} = 2
molesstiochiometry\dfrac{moles}{stiochiometry} ratio of H2=23=1.66{H}_{2} = \dfrac{2}{3} = 1.66

∴∴ Answer is (3)\left(3\right) .
