Ammonia (NH3) can be produced by the reaction of hydrogen gas with nitrogen gas:

3H2 + N2→2NH3

A chemist reacts 2.00 mol H2 with excess N2 . The reaction yields 0.13 mol NH3 .

What is the percent yield of the reaction?


10%


40%


60%


80%


10 percent is correct

Respuesta :

Neetoo

Answer:

10%

Explanation:

Given data:

Actual yield = 0.13 moles

Percent yield = ?

Solution:

Balanced chemical equation.

3H₂ + N₂    →   2NH₃

First of all we will calculate the mass of given moles of ammonia.

Number of moles = mass / molar mass

Mass = 0.13 × 17 g/mol

Mass = 2.21 g

2.21 g is experimental yield of ammonia.

Hydrogen is limiting reactant because only two moles of hydrogen present.

we will compare the moles of hydrogen and ammonia from balance chemical equation.                

                               H₂     :    NH₃

                                3       :     2

                                2       :     2/3×2 = 1.33 moles

Mass of ammonia

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.33 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 22.61 g

Percent yield:

Percent yield = actual yield / theoretical yield × 100

Percent yield = 2.21 g / 22.61 g

Percent yield =9.8%  which is almost 10%

Answer:

10%

just took the test! :D

have a miraculous day!! <3
