The Haber-Bosch process is a very important industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia according to the equation 3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g)3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g) The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to pharmaceuticals. However, the production of ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than those predicted from the chemical equation. 1.47 gg H2H2 is allowed to react with 10.3 gg N2N2, producing 2.03 gg NH3NH3.   a) What is the theoretical yield in grams for this reaction under the given conditions? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.   b) What is the percent yield in grams for this reaction under the given conditions? Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Question

The Haber-Bosch process is a very important industrial process. In the Haber-Bosch process, hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas to produce ammonia according to the equation

3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g)3H2(g)+N2(g)→2NH3(g)

The ammonia produced in the Haber-Bosch process has a wide range of uses, from fertilizer to pharmaceuticals. However, the production of ammonia is difficult, resulting in lower yields than those predicted from the chemical equation.

1.47 gg H2H2 is allowed to react with 10.3 gg N2N2, producing 2.03 gg NH3NH3.

 

a) What is the theoretical yield in grams for this reaction under the given conditions?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
 
b) What is the percent yield in grams for this reaction under the given conditions?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
