a) 1 mole
b) 2 moles
c) 4 moles
d) 3 moles
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Moles of NH3 produced = 2 * 4 = 8 moles.

a) 1 mole
b) 2 moles
c) 4 moles
d) 8 moles
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Moles of NH3 = 2*4 = 8.

6. For the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, if 88 kg of C3H8 react with 160 moles of O2, what is the extent of the reaction?
a) 1 mole
b) 2 moles
c) 3 moles
d) 4 moles
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The extent of the reaction is calculated as: (2 – 1) / (1) = 1.

7. For the reaction C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O, if 88 kg of C3H8 react, how many moles of C3H8 remain unreacted after the reaction?
a) 1 mole
b) 2 moles
c) 3 moles
d) 4 moles
View Answer

Answer: a
