Question

HCl reacts with NH3 according to the balanced equation below. 0.132 moles of HCl are reacted with 0.252 moles of NH3. When 0.132 moles of HCl reacts with 0.252 moles of NH3, how much NH3 is consumed? mol NH3

Answer 1

Balanced chemical equation is:

HCl + NH3 ---> NH4Cl

1 mol of HCl reacts with 1 mol of NH3

for 0.132 mol of HCl, 0.132 mol of NH3 is required

But we have 0.252 mol of NH3

so, HCl is limiting reagent

According to balanced equation

mol of NH3 reacted = (1/1)* moles of HCl

= (1/1)*0.132

= 0.132 mol

Answer: 0.132 mol
