Question

Transcribed Image Text:The production of ammonia (NH3) is achieved industrially via the Haber-Bosch process, which consumes 1-2% of
the world's energy supply each year. The reaction occurring is shown below:
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) → 2 NH3(g)
Suppose that 6.8 L of NH3(g) is collected at 513 K, with a total pressure of 95.2 atm by this process. The partial
pressures of N2(g) and H2(g) in the same vessel are 23.28 atm and 50.60 atm, respectively. Answer all four parts
of this question.
a) What is the partial pressure (in atm) of ammonia gas in the sample?
b) What is the mol fraction of ammonia gas?
c) How many moles of ammonia gas are produced?
d) How many liters of hydrogen gas must have reacted to produce this quantity of ammonia gas if the initial
reaction vessel had a hydrogen pressure of 75 atm at 585 K?
