Under appropriate conditions, nitrogen and hydrogen undergo a combination reaction to yield ammonia: N 2 (g) 3H 2 (g) 2NH3 (g) If the reaction yield is 87.5%, how many moles of N 2 are needed to produce 3.00 mol of NH 3

We need 1.714 moles N2

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

The reaction yield = 87.5 %

Number of moles NH3 produced = 3.00 moles

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2(g)+ 3H2(g) →2NH3(g)

Step 3: Calculate moles N2

For 2 moles NH3 produced we need 1 mol N2 and 3 moles H2

This means, if the yield was 100%, for 3.00 moles NH3 produced , we need 1.5 moles N2

For a 87.5 % yield:  

we need more N2, increased by a ratio of 100/87.5.

100/87.5 * 1.5 =  1.714 moles N2

answer:

the reaction is type of combination reaction.

explanation:

on the product side, there are 2 molecules of bonded to fe   which means one atom of fe are combined two molecules of . so, balanced chemical equation becomes :

this reaction follows the reaction type of combination reaction. a combination reaction is defined as chemical reaction in which reactants combines together to form a single product.
