37. Using the reaction of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas to make ammonia gas

(NH3), if you have 7 L of nitrogen, and all the hydrogen you need, how many
liters of ammonia gas can you make?

You can make 14 L of Ammonia

Further explanation

Avogadro's hypothesis:

In the same T,P and V, the gas contains the same number of molecules

So the ratio of gas volume will be equal to the ratio of gas moles


\tt (V_1)/(n_1)=(V_2)/(n_2)

Reaction

N₂+3H₂⇒2NH₃

Volume of Nitrogen-N₂ : V₁=7 L

From the equation above, mol ratio of N₂ : NH₃ =1 : 2, so volume of NH₃ :


\tt (7)/(1)=(V_2)/(2)\\\\V_2=\boxed{\bold{14~L}}
