9moles of N2
Given the reaction represented by the equation:
[tex]N_2+3H_2\rightarrow2NH_3[/tex]Given the following parameters
• Moles of ammonia = 18 moles
According to stoichiometry, 1 mole of nitrogen produces 2 moles of ammonia. Therefore the moles of nitrogen required is given as:
[tex]\begin{gathered} moles\text{ of }N_2=\frac{1mole\text{ of }N_2}{2\cancel{moles\text{ of }NH_3}}\times18\cancel{moles\text{ of }NH_3} \\ moles\text{ of }N_2=9moles \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence the moles of nitrogen required to produce 18 mol of ammonia is 9moles
