Q. How many moles of hydrogen, H, are needed to react with 3.0 moles of nitrogen, N2?
Chemical Equation: The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia is N2+3H2→2NH3.
Moles Ratio: According to the equation, 1 mole of nitrogen reacts with 3 moles of hydrogen.
Moles Calculation: So, if we have 3.0 moles of nitrogen, we need 3 times as much hydrogen.
Moles Calculation: So, if we have 3.0 moles of nitrogen, we need 3 times as much hydrogen.Calculate the moles of hydrogen needed: 3.0 moles N2×3 moles H2/moleN2=9.0 moles $\text{H}_2.
