Ammonia is produced industrially by reacting N₂ with H₂ at elevated pressure and temperature in the presence of a catalyst: N₂(g) + H₂(g) → NH3(g) (unbalanced) In actual practice, this reaction gives a yield of only 13%, taking this into account what mass of ammonia would be produced from a 1:1 mole ratio mixture in a reactor that has a volume of 3.91 x 10³ L, under a total pressure of 116 bar at T = 632 °C? Actual amount = i g مه

Question
Ammonia is produced industrially by reacting
N2 with H₂ at elevated pressure and
temperature in the presence of a catalyst:
N₂(g) + H₂(g) → NH3(g) (unbalanced)
In actual practice, this reaction gives a yield of
only 13%, taking this into account what mass
of ammonia would be produced from a 1:1
mole ratio mixture in a reactor that has a
volume of 3.91 x 103 L, under a total pressure
of 116 bar at T = 632 °C?
Actual amount =
g
