Answer:
Hydrogen is the limiting reactant.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, for the identification of the limiting reactant, it is necessary to compute the yielded moles of ammonia via both hydrogen and nitrogen in agreement to the 3:2 and 1:2 mole ratios respectively:
[tex]n_{NH_3}^{by\ H_2}=5molH_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{3molH_2}=3.33molNH_3\\\\n_{NH_3}^{by\ N_2}=2molN_2*\frac{2molNH_3}{1molN_2}=4molNH_3[/tex]
Thus, since hydrogen yields the fewest moles of ammonia we infer it is the limiting reactant.
Best regards!
