Please help:)
@Vincent-Lyon.Fr @bronzegoddess Please help:)
Do you want solution or hints?
only answers becoz i have done it. no need of solutions or hints.
i want to check only.
a. work out how many grams of ammonia each reactant produces, the one that gives the least is the limiting reagent. i gtg, but i'll look at it again :)
a) Nitrogen is the limiting reagent b) 1214.3 g of ammonia are produced c) excess of hydrogen is 35.7 g You can check your solution by conservation of mass as: 1000 + 250 = 1214.3 + 35.7
k. thanx a lot @Vincent-Lyon.Fr sir. I did right.
Well done Mahesh! You're the one who deserves the medal!
thanx again sir:)
Now, if I may, I can ask a follow up question: If yield is only 80%, what are the final masses of reactants and product? This might help you fully understand this kind of problems.
sorry to say but i haven't studied %yield yet bt i will give the answer after upto 4 hrs:)
100% i will give sir:)
np ;-)
:)
@Vincent-Lyon.Fr , I studied %yield but not mastered it btw i thought the answer of the question u asked me: - I have thought that Reactants will be (1000+250) = 1250gm. & product will be \[1250 \times \frac{80}{100}=1000gm.\]Am i right or nt sir?
No, you will end up with 80% ammonia of the value you had before.
so i took the question in wrong way i thought that u r asking me a new question but it was a follow-up:(
ok sir one more question would the reactant's mass would be the same as before? I think yes!
No because if yield is not 100%, then the excess of reactant will be greater.
sir would u plz make me understand the concept of %yield? I think i have nt gained it yet:(
A certain amount of reactants is used up; a certain amount of product is formed. If yield is n%, then multiply these amounts by n% and this is it.
oh i see but sir i think that %yield must not have effect on reactants becoz it is yielding the products!
wt do u say sir? Plz help:)
@Vincent-Lyon.Fr sir plz:)
Instead of 35.7 moles N2 being used up, only 28.57 will be used up. 200 g N2 and 78.6 g H2 will remain, and 971.4 g of NH3 will be formed.
k; sir. Thnx a lot for removing my nonsense confusion.
sorry to bother but how did you in fact solve the questions?
@bronzegoddess ? Pardon me! wt r u saying? i didn't understand.
how did you find N2 to be the limiting reagent?
becoz \[N_2.\]is that reactant which will be used up before the reaction goes to completion:)
I think u want solution; do u?
yes
k Plz give me the mole ratio of reactants & products from the balanced reaction then we'll go further.
4moles:2moles
ya but in actually i wanted 1:3:2. u gave me 1+3:2
okay sorry, i thought you want all reactants to all products..
no no k now we move further
calculate the moles of H2 & N2 from the given mass & tell me:)
okay, for N2 and H2; 35.7moles and 125moles respectively.
k; if 1 mole of N2 gives 3 moles of H2 therefore 35.7 moles of N2 will produce 107.1 moles but we have actually 125 moles of H2 so H2 is in excess & limiting reagent would be N2 which limits the reaction if we had some more N2 then total 125 moles would be used up:) then there will be no limiting reagent. all would be balanced. So now any doubt?
nope, thank you! :)
