The illustration to the left represents a mixture of nitrogen (blue) and hydrogen (light blue) molecules. If the molecules in the above illustration react to form NH3 according to the equation N2 + 3 H2 → 2 NH3, the limiting reagent is the number of NH3 molecules formed is and the number of molecules in excess is.

Nitrogen and hydrogen combine at a high temperature, in the presence of a catalyst, to produce ammonia. N 2 ( g ) + 3 H 2 ( g ) ⟶ 2 NH 3 ( g ) There are four molecules of nitrogen and nine molecules of hydrogen present in the diagram. When the reaction is complete, how many molecules of NH 3 are produced? molecules of NH 3 : What is the limiting reactant? nitrogen hydrogen How many molecules of each reactant are remain after the reaction is complete? molecules of H 2 : molecules of N 2 :
