In Haber process, 30 litres of dihydrogen and 30 litres of dinitrogen were taken for reaction which yielded only 50% of the expected product. What will be the composition of the gaseous mixture under the aforesaid condition in the end?

Answer»

20 litres `NH_3`, 25 litres `N_2`, 20 litres `H_2`
10 litres `NH_3`, 25 litres `N_2`, 15 litres `H_2`
20 litres `NH_3`, 10 litres `N_2`, 30 litres `H_2`
20 litres `NH_3`, 25 litres `N_2`, 15 litres `H_2`

Solution :`N_(2)(g) + 3H_(2)(g) 1 L of `N_(2)` REACTS with 3 L of `H_(2)` to form 2 L of `NH_(3)`.
Thus, `N_(2)` is the limiting reacant.
10 L `N_(2)` will react with 30 L `H_(2)` to form 20 L `NH_(3)`. As actual yield is 50% of the EXPECTED value, `NH_(3)` formed = 10 L, `N_(2)` reacted = 5L, `H_(2)` reacted = 15 L
`THEREFORE` Mixture will contain 10 L `NH_(3), 25 L N_(2), 15 L H_(2)`
