What is the limiting reagent when 1.5 moles of nitrogen react with 6 moles of hydrogen?

Explanation

Given

N2(g)+3H2(g)—> 2NH3(g)

Number of moles of nitrogen = 1.5 moles

Number of moles of hydrogen = 6 moles

Required: Limiting reagent

Solution

For Nitrogen:

For Hydrogen:

The limiting reagent is Nitrogen, because less moles of NH3 will be produced by nitrogen, meaning it all of it gets used up.

Answer

The limiting reagent is Nitrogen.

Thanks for the easy points
