Expert Solution
Step 1

First we need to write a balanced chemical reaction for reaction of nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia. 

a.) Theoretical yield of ammonia would be calculated using mass of reactant used using stoichiometry. 

b.) Actual yield is the amount of product product in the experiment that is given . 

c.) To calculate percent yield we would use actual yield and theoretical yield.
