In order to calculate the theoretical yield, first we will identify the limiting reactant. According to equation,
6 g (3 moles) H₂ requires = 28 g (1 mole) N₂ So, 5250 g H₂ will require = X g of N₂
Solving for X, X = (5250 g × 28 g) ÷ 6 g
X = 25433 g of N₂
Hence, it is found that H₂ is the limiting reactant because N₂ is provided in excess (32700 g). Therefore, As, 6 g (3 mole) H₂ produced = 34 g ( 2 moles) of NH₃ So, 5250 g H₂ will produce = X g of NH₃
