Question

N2(g) reacts with H2(g) in either of the following ways depending upon the supply of H2(g).

N2(g)+H2(g)N2H2(l)

N2(g)+2H2(g)N2H4(g)

If 5LN2(g) and 3LH2(g) are taken initially (at same temperature and pressure), then the contraction in volume after the reaction (in L) is:

Solution

The balanced reactions are shown below:
N2(g)+H2(g)N2H2(l)

N2(g)+2H2(g)N2H4(g)
3 moles of H2 reacts with 2 moles of N2.
Given, 5 L of N2 and 3 L of H2.
Here, H2 is a limiting reagent. So, the first reaction will follow.
According to the first reaction, 3 L of H2 will react and form 3 L of the product. So, the final volume of solution 3+(53)=5 L.
Contraction in volume is ViVf=5+35=3 L.
