Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The correct description of the given reaction needs to be identified.
Concept introduction:
A chemical equation is a symbolic depiction of a
Answer to Problem 17STP
The correct option is (C).
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option:
The given reaction is:
Here, the ratio of number of moles of N2 and H2 is 1:3 and it results in the formation of 2 mol of ammonia thus, it is correct that 2 mol of ammonia is produced when H2 is present 3 times as number of moles of N2.
So, the correct option is (C).
Reason for incorrect option/s:
The given reaction is:
The above reaction is balanced thus, option (a) is incorrect.
In the given reaction 3 moles of H2 reacts with 1 mole of N2 to produce 2 moles of NH3.
If more molecules of N2 are added in reactant side the number of N atom will be greater than 2, in this situation the reaction is not balanced. Thus, option (b) is incorrect.
If 6 mol of H2 and 2 mol of N2 are used, then 4 mol of NH3 will be produced. Thus, option (d) is incorrect.
