Correct answer: 3400

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation

N2+3H2→2NH3\mathrm{N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3}N2​+3H2​→2NH3​

  1. Convert given masses into moles
  • Mass of dinitrogen: 2.8 kg=2800 g2.8\text{ kg} = 2800\text{ g}2.8 kg=2800 g

Molar mass of N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​: 28 g mol−128\text{ g mol}^{-1}28 g mol−1

So, moles of N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​: 280028=100 mol\frac{2800}{28} = 100\text{ mol}282800​=100 mol

  • Mass of dihydrogen: 1 kg=1000 g1\text{ kg} = 1000\text{ g}1 kg=1000 g

Molar mass of H2\mathrm{H_2}H2​: 2 g mol−12\text{ g mol}^{-1}2 g mol−1

So, moles of H2\mathrm{H_2}H2​: 10002=500 mol\frac{1000}{2} = 500\text{ mol}21000​=500 mol

  1. Find the limiting reagent

From the equation, 1 mol N2 requires 3 mol H21\text{ mol } \mathrm{N_2} \text{ requires } 3\text{ mol } \mathrm{H_2}1 mol N2​ requires 3 mol H2​

For 100100100 mol N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​, required H2\mathrm{H_2}H2​ is: 100×3=300 mol100 \times 3 = 300\text{ mol}100×3=300 mol

Available H2\mathrm{H_2}H2​ is 500500500 mol, which is excess.

Therefore, N2\mathrm{N_2}N2​ is the limiting reagent.

  1. Calculate moles of ammonia formed

From the balanced equation, 1 mol N2→2 mol NH31\text{ mol } \mathrm{N_2} \rightarrow 2\text{ mol } \mathrm{NH_3}1 mol N2​→2 mol NH3​

So, 100 mol N2→200 mol NH3100\text{ mol } \mathrm{N_2} \rightarrow 200\text{ mol } \mathrm{NH_3}100 mol N2​→200 mol NH3​

  1. Convert moles of ammonia to mass

Molar mass of NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​: 14+3(1)=17 g mol−114 + 3(1) = 17\text{ g mol}^{-1}14+3(1)=17 g mol−1

Mass of 200200200 mol NH3\mathrm{NH_3}NH3​: 200×17=3400 g200 \times 17 = 3400\text{ g}200×17=3400 g

  1. Final answer

The mass of ammonia produced is: 3400\boxed{3400}3400​

gram.
