Question

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? 

(a) 20 litres ammonia, 20 litres nitrogen, 20 litres hydrogen 

(b) 10 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen 

(c) 20 litres ammonia, 10 liters nitrogen, 30 litres hydrogen 

(d) 20 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen

Answer 1

The correct option is: (b) 10 litres ammonia, 25 litres nitrogen, 15 litres hydrogen 

Explanation:

Composition of gaseous mixture under the aforesaid condition in the end

H₂ = 30 -15 = 15 litres

N₂ = 30 - 5 = 25 litres 

NH₃ = 10 litres
