The development of the Haber-Bosch process for manufacturing ammonia from elemental hydrogen and nitrogen was a major industrial revolution that had a significant effect during World War I. To maximize the percent yield, the reaction is carried out at 20.0 MPa and 450 ºC. Calculate the percent yield if 750 L of ammonia gas is collected when 25.7 kg of hydrogen gas is reacted with excess nitrogen gas. Hint: Write a balanced chemical equation first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units.
