Answer:
The percent yield of this reaction is 70%
Explanation:
The reaction is: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃
We only have the mass of H₂, so we assume that N₂ is in excess
We convert the mass to moles, to work with the reaction:
450 g . 1mol / 2 g = 225 moles
Ratio is 2:3. 3 moles of H₂ can produce 2 moles of ammonia
Therefore 225 moles of H₂ will produce (225 .2)/ 3 = 150 moles
This is the 100% yield reaction → We convert the moles of NH₃ to mass
150 mol . 17g /1mol = 2550 g
Percent yield = (Produced yield/Theoretical yield) .100
Percent yield = (1575g/2550g) . 100 = 70%
