If 5 moles of ammonia is produced in the reaction N₂ + 3 H₂ → 2 NH₃, the number of hydrogen molecules consumed is ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

From the balanced chemical equation, for every 3 hydrogen molecules consumed, 2 moles of ammonia is produced. Therefore, for 5 moles of ammonia produced, the number of hydrogen molecules consumed can be calculated as:

(5 moles NH3) x (3 H2 molecules / 2 moles NH3) = 7.5 H2 molecules
