The following reaction is known as the Haber Process. It is commonly used to make ammonia (NH3) for use in fertilizer. This reaction typically has low yields. N2(8) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) Assuming a company can conduct this reaction with a 15.3% yield. Assuming excess nitrogen, how much hydrogen would have to be used in order to yield 1.00 x 106 metric tons? 1 metric ton = 1000kg

The following reaction is known as the Haber Process. It is commonly used to make
ammonia (NH3) for use in fertilizer. This reaction typically has low yields.
N2{g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g)
Assuming a company can conduct this reaction with a 15.3% yield. Assuming excess
nitrogen, how much hydrogen would have to be used in order to yield 1.00 x 106 metric
tons? 1 metric ton = 1000kg
