The Haber-Bosch process is a very important industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia according to the equation 3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g) The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to pharmaceuticals. However, the production of ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than those predicted from the chemical equation. 1.23g H2 is allowed to react with 10.3g N2, producing 2.54g NH3. What is the theoretical and percent yield for this reaction under the given conditions?
Start by converting the g to moles. Then you have to figure out which reagent was completely reacted, that is a limiting reagent problem. Can you take it from there?
