Explanation
Stoichiometric volume ratio for ammonia formation
Steps:
- Recall the balanced equation: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.
- Note that for gases at same T/P, volumes proportional to moles (Avogadro's law).
- Given mixture ratio N₂:H₂ = 1:3 by volume matches reaction's 1:3 mole/volume ratio.
- Thus, complete reaction occurs with no excess reactants.
Why B is correct:
- B states the mixture is stoichiometric, aligning with the 1:3 volume ratio required by the reaction formula.
Why the others are wrong:
- A ignores Avogadro's law, assuming volume ratios differ from mole ratios.
- C claims excess hydrogen, but 1:3 exactly matches stoichiometry.
- D suggests incomplete reaction, overlooking the precise ratio for full conversion.
Not enough information on exact choices, but B fits standard stoichiometric confirmation.
Final answer: B
