QJEEM22Ch7823: JEE Main 2022 Chemistry - Class 11 JEEM22Ch7823 Solution: Consider the above reaction, the limiting reagent of the…

N2( g)+3H2( g)⇌2NH3( g)\mathrm{N}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}+3 \mathrm{H}_{2(\mathrm{~g})} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}

20 g   5 g20 \mathrm{~g} \quad ~~~5 \mathrm{~g}

Consider the above reaction, the limiting reagent of the reaction and number of moles of NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3} formed respectively are :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A H2,1.42\mathrm{H}_{2}, 1.42 moles
  • B H2,0.71\mathrm{H}_{2}, 0.71 moles
  • C N2,1.42\mathrm{N}_{2}, 1.42 moles
  • D N2,0.71\mathrm{N}_{2}, 0.71 moles

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

N2( g)20 g+3H2(g)5 g⇌2NH3( g)\underset{20 \,g}{\mathrm{N}_{2(\mathrm{~g})}}+\underset{5 \mathrm{~g}}{3 H_{2(g)}} \rightleftharpoons 2 \mathrm{NH}_{3(\mathrm{~g})}

Ideally 28 g N228 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~N}_{2} reacts with 6 g H26 \mathrm{~g} \,\mathrm{H}_{2} limiting reagent is N2\mathrm{N}_{2}

∴\therefore Amount of NH3\mathrm{NH}_{3} formed on reacting 20 g N220 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~N}_2 is,

amp;=34×2028=24.28 gamp;=1.42 moles \begin{aligned}&=\frac{34 \times 20}{28}=24.28 \mathrm{~g} \\\\&=1.42 \text { moles }\end{aligned}
