Detailed Solution

N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g) 

(2×14)g   6g                 2(14+3)g

28 kg         6 kg             34 kg

According to the balanced chemical reaction, 28kg of N2  reacts with 6kg of H2  to give 34 kg of NH3 .

Thus, 6 kg of H2  requires 28 kg of N2

10kg of H2  requires 28×106=46.6kgofN2

Hence, it is the limiting reagent, since it is completely consumed in the reaction, and H2  will decide the amount of product formed.

Thus 6 kg of H2=34kgofNH3

10 kg of H2=34×106=56.6kgofNH3
