H2 + NO → H2O + N2

If 180.5 grams of N2 are produced, how many grams of H2 were reacted?

12.89 moles

Explanation:

Before we solve the question, we have to balance the equation of the reaction first. The balanced reaction will be:

2 NO + 2 H2→ N2 + 2 H2O

There are 180.5g of N2 produced, the number of produced in moles will be: 180.5g / (28g/mol)= 6.446 moles

The coefficient of H2 is two and the coefficient of N2 is one. Mean that we need two moles of H2 for every one mole of N2 produced. The number of H2 reacted will be: 2/1 * 6.446 moles = 12.89 moles
