of nitrogen and of hydrogen gas are heated in a closed vessel. At equilibrium, 3

\( 56 \mathrm{g} \) of nitrogen and \( 8 \mathrm{g} \) of hydrogen gas are heated in a closed vessel. At equilibrium, 34 g of ammonia are present. The equilibrium number of moles of nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia are respectively:

  • A. 1,2,2
  • B. 2, 2, 1
  • C. 1,1,2
  • D. 2, 1, 2

Step-by-step solution

Initial moles: N2 = 56/28 = 2, H2 = 8/2 = 4. At equilibrium, NH3 = 34/17 = 2 moles. From N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3, let x = moles N2 reacted. Then NH3 produced = 2x = 2 → x = 1. Equilibrium moles: N2 = 2-1 = 1, H2 = 4-3(1) = 1, NH3 = 2.
