Consider the following balanced chemical equation: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3 If 14.0 grams of H2 were mixed with 56.0 grams of N2, how many moles of the excess reagent would remain upon completion of the reaction? That is, how many moles of H2 or N2 will be left after the limiting reactant is entirely consumed?
