Q8 / 90 · JEE Main 2019 (09 Apr Shift 1) · Chemistry

For a reaction,
N2g+3H2(g)⟶2NH3(g), identify di-hydrogen (H2) as a limiting reagent in the following reaction mixtures.

  • A
    28 g of N2+6 g of H2
  • B
    35 g of N2+8 g of H2
  • Correct answer
    C
    56 g of N2+10 g of H2
  • D
    14 g of N2+4 g of H2

Solution

N2g+3H2g→2NH3g


moles of N2stoichiometry of N2≠mole of H2stoichiometry of H2
Whose ratio is less called limiting reagent.


(a) mole of N2=2828=1
molesstiochiometry ratio of N2=11=1
mole of H2=62=3
molesstiochiometry ratio of H2=33=1
there is no limiting reagent.


(b) mole of N2=3528=1.25
molesstiochiometry ratio of N2=1.251 limiting reagent
mole of H2=82=4
molesstiochiometry ratio of H2=43=1.33


(c) mole of N2=5628=2
molesstiochiometry ratio of N2=21=2
mole of H2=102=5
molesstiochiometry ratio of H2=53=1.66 limiting reagent.


(d) mole of N2=1428=0.5
molesstiochiometry ratio of N2=0.51=0.5 limiting reagent
mole of H2=42=2
molesstiochiometry ratio of H2=23=1.66

∴  Answer is 3 .

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
