Answer:

Mass of ammonia = 34 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Number of molecules of ammonia = 1.204 × 10²⁴

Mass of ammonia = ?

Solution:

First of all we will calculate the number of moles.

one mole of ammonia = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

n = 1 mole/6.022 × 10²³ molecules × 1.204 × 10²⁴ molecules

Number of moles = 2 mol

Mass of ammonia:

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

Mass of ammonia = number of moles × molar mass

Mass of ammonia = 2 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass of ammonia = 34 g
