As we know that,

From the above reaction,
1 mole of N
2
react with 3 moles of H
2
.
No. of moles of H
2
required to react with 17.86×10
2
moles of N
2
=3×17.86×10
2
=5.36×10
3
moles
But only 5×10
3
moles of H
2
are available.
Thus H
2
is the limiting reagent here.
Now, again from the above reaction,
Amount of ammonia formed when 3 moles of H
2
react =2 moles
Therefore,
Amount of ammonia formed when 5×10
3
moles of H
2
react =

×(5×10

moles
Molecular weight of ammonia =17g
Weight of ammonia in 3.33×10
3
moles =17×(3.33×10
3
)=56.61kg.
Hence the amount of NH
3
formed is 56.61kg.
