ammonia is formed from the reactants nitrogen and hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst under suitable conditions. assuming all volumes are measured in litres at s.t.p. calculate the volume of ammonia formed if only 10% conversion has taken place.

reaction for the formation of ammonia:
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
It can be seen that 1 mole of N2 and 3 moles of H2 together 4 moles of reactants produce 2 moles of ammonia
If only 10% conversion takes place,
0.4 moles of reactants will produce 0.2 moles of ammonia
At STP, in term of molar volume:
0.4 x 22.4 = 8.96 L of reactants will produce 0.2 x 22.4 = 4.48 L of ammonia

N2 + 3 H2 ==> 2 N H3
x 3 * x 2 * x
x liters of Nitrogen and 3 x liters of Hydrogen produce 2 x liters of Ammonia.
Initially V liters of N2, and 3*V liters of H2 are present. Only 10% conversion took place.
So 0.90 V liters of N2 and 2.70 V liters of H2 are remaining. And, 0.20 V liters of Ammonia is produced.
Produced Ammonia has a volume equal to 20% of initial volume of Nitrogen.
