3. ammonia, nh3, is a typical ingredient in household cleaners. it is produced through a combination reaction involving n2(g) and h2(g). if 24.0 mol of h2(g) react with excess n2(g), how many moles of ammonia are produced?

16 moles of Ammonia are produced

Explanation:

First thing's first, we have to write out the balanced chemical equation for the production of ammonia.

We know that;

Nitrogen + Hydrogen --> Ammonia

N2 + 3H2 --> 2NH3

From the equation, we can tell that 1 mol of N2 reacts with 3 mol of H2 to produce 2 mol of NH3.

Since N2 is in excess, it cannot be a limiting reactant. So the mole relationship is reduced to;

3 mol of H2 produces 2 mol of NH3

24 mol of H2 produces x mol of NH3

3 = 2

24 = x

Upon cross multiplication and solving for x;

x = ( 24 * 2) / 3

x = 16 mol
