Question

In chemical industries the following chemical reaction is used to produce ammonia in large scale

\(N_2+3H_2\rightarrow2NH_3\)

Based on mole concept, calculate the mass of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas required in
kilogram to produce 1000 kg of ammonia by using the above chemical equation

Answer 1

1) m(N₂)=1000 kg * 28 g / 34 g = 823.5 kg

2) m(H₂)=1000 kg * 6 g / 34 g = 176.47 kg
