In Haber process 30 litres of dihydrogen and 30 litres of dinitrogen were taken for reaction which yielded only 50% of the expected product. What will be the composition of gaseous mixture under the aforesaid condition in the end?
- 20 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen
- 20 litres ammonia, 20 litres nitrogen, 20 litres hydrogen
- 10 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen
- 20 litres ammonia, 10 litres nitrogen, 30 litres hydrogen
Correct answer: 10 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen
Solution
In the Haber process, the reaction is N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃. Initially, 30 L of N₂ and 30 L of H₂ are taken. The limiting reagent is H₂, as it requires 3 times the amount of N₂. For 50% yield, 15 L of H₂ reacts with 5 L of N₂ to form 10 L of NH₃. Remaining gases are 25 L of N₂ and 15 L of H₂.
