A) Which is the limiting reactant? Why? Justify your answer showing
necessary calculations
B) What is the theoretical yield of NH3 in grams?

The answer to your question is a) N₂     b) 3.04 g of NH₃

Explanation:

Data

mass of H₂ = 2.5 g

mass of N₂ = 2.5 g

molar mass H₂ = 2.02 g

molar mass of N₂ = 28.02 g

molar mass of NH₃ = 17.04 g

Balanced chemical reaction

                3H₂  +  1 N₂   ⇒   2NH₃

A)

Calculate the theoretical yield 3H₂ / N₂ = 3(2.02) / 28.02 = 0.22

Calculate the experimental yield H₂/N₂ = 2.5/2.5 = 1

Conclusion

The limiting reactant is N₂ (nitrogen) because the experimental proportion was higher than the theoretical proportion.

B)

             28.02 g of N₂ (2 x 17.04) g of NH₃

               2.5 g of N₂       x

                            x = (2.5 x 2 x 17.04) / 28.02

                            x = 85.2 / 28.02

                           x = 3.04 g of NH₃

the old alchemists made significant contributions to science even though there starting premises were off a bit. their conclusions after failure would steer them into better directions for investigation. science is no more than close observation and the initial mistakes result in rethinking and retrying experiments.
