Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia. 12dm of hydrogen reacted with excess nitrogen to form 2dm of ammonia. What is the percentage yield of ammonia at room temperature and pressure.

Respuesta :

The percent yield shows the extent to which reactants are converted to products.  The percent yield of ammonia is 24.7%

Percent yield

The percent yield is obtained from the theoretical  yield and the actual yield. The reaction between hydrogen and Nitrogen is;

3H2 + N2 ---->2NH3

If 1 mole of H2 occupies 22.4 dm^3

x moles occupies 12dm^3

x = 0.54 moles

If 1 mole of NH3 occupies 22.4 dm^3

x moles of ammonia occupies 2 dm^3

x = 0.089 moles

Now;

From the reaction equation;

3 moles of hydrogen yields 2 moles of NH3

0.54 moles of hydrogen will yiled 0.54 moles * 2 moles/3 moles

= 0.36 moles of ammonia

Percent yield =  0.089 moles/0.36 moles * 100 = 24.7%

The percent yield of ammonia is 24.7%
