N2(g)+3H2(g)NH3(l)

Stochiometric ratio of the above raction suggests that 1mole (28g) N2(g) reacts with 3moles (3×2=6g) H2(g) to produce 2moles (2×17=34g) NH3(l)

50g of each reactant is taken . So it is obvious that N2 will be limilting reactant , hence will be consumed completely to give the product.

By the balanced equation,28g N2(g) reacts with 6g H2(g) to produce 34g NH3(l)

So 50 g N2(g) reacts completely with 628×50g10.71g H2(g) leaving (5010.71)=39.29g H2(g)

Now we are to calculate the volume (V) of the remaining w=39.29g H2(g) at pressure
P=760mm=1atm and temperature T=200K

Now by equation of ideal gas we have

PV=wMRT

here M=2gmol
R=0.082LatmJ1mol1

So
V=wM×RTP

V=39.292×0.082×2001L=322.178L
