 Hi. I need help solving this.

### Haber-Bosch Process and Theoretical Yield Calculation

**Objective:**
Calculate the theoretical yield in moles of \( \text{NH}_3 \) from the complete reaction of 15.6 grams of \( \text{H}_2 \) in the presence of excess \( \text{N}_2 \) gas according to the following balanced chemical equation:

\[ \text{N}_2(g) + 3 \, \text{H}_2(g) \rightarrow 2 \, \text{NH}_3(g) \]

**Calculation Steps:**

1. **Starting Amount:**
   - Begin with 15.6 grams of \( \text{H}_2 \).

2. **Conversion Factors:**
   - Use the molar ratio from the balanced equation: 
     \[
     \frac{2 \, \text{mol} \, \text{NH}_3}{3 \, \text{mol} \, \text{H}_2}
     \]

3. **Molar Mass Conversion:**
   - Convert grams of \( \text{H}_2 \) to moles:
     \[
     \text{Molar mass of } \text{H}_2 = 2.02 \, \text{g/mol}
     \]
   - Convert moles of \( \text{NH}_3 \) to grams:
     \[
     \text{Molar mass of } \text{NH}_3 = 17.04 \, \text{g/mol}
     \]

**Calculation:**

\[
\frac{15.6 \, \text{g} \, \text{H}_2}{1} \times \frac{2 \, \text{mol} \, \text{NH}_3}{3 \, \text{g} \, \text{H}_2} \times \frac{17.04 \, \text{mol} \, \text{H}_2}{2.02 \, \text{g} \, \text{NH}_3} = \text{mol} \, \text{NH}_3
\]

**Interface Features:**

- **Buttons and Operations:**
  - Different numbers are available to input for quantity changes.
  - Units such as grams \( \text{g} \), grams per mole \( \text{g/mol} \
