NEET Chemistry Limiting Reagent MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
A schematic diagram of a chemical reaction is shown with diatomic nitrogen (N₂) and diatomic hydrogen (H₂) molecules. If 50.0 kg of N₂ and 10.0 kg of H₂ are mixed to produce ammonia (NH₃), what is the limiting reagent?
A
Hydrogen (H₂)
B
Nitrogen (N₂)
C
Ammonia (NH₃)
D
Oxygen (O₂)
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
According to the balanced equation, 1 mol of N₂ requires 3 mol of H₂. Given data shows 4.96 × 10³ mol of H₂ and 5.36 × 10³ mol of H₂ is required for the available N₂, making H₂ the limiting reagent.
