B

10 mol10 \text{ mol}

C

20 mol20 \text{ mol}

D

30 mol30 \text{ mol}

Step-by-Step Solution

The balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of ammonia by Haber's process is: N2(g)+3H2(g)2NH3(g)N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) . According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 3 moles3 \text{ moles} of hydrogen molecules (H2H_2) are required to produce 2 moles2 \text{ moles} of ammonia (NH3NH_3) . Therefore, to produce 20 moles20 \text{ moles} of NH3NH_3, the number of moles of H2H_2 required will be: Moles of H2=32×20 mol=30 mol\text{Moles of } H_2 = \frac{3}{2} \times 20 \text{ mol} = 30 \text{ mol}.
