Question

3 H2 (g) + N2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

1.36 liters of hydrogen gas will produce how many grams of NH3 at STP?

Answer 1

Mass = 0.697 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Volume of hydrogen = 1.36 L

Mass of ammonia produced = ?

Temperature = standard = 273.15 K

Pressure = standard = 1 atm

Solution:

Chemical equation:

3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃

First of all we will calculate the number of moles of hydrogen:

PV = nRT

R = general gas constant = 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K

1atm ×1.36 L = n × 0.0821 atm.L/mol.K × 273.15 K

1.36 atm.L = n × 22.43 atm.L/mol

n = 1.36 atm.L / 22.43 atm.L/mol

n = 0.061 mol

Now we will compare the moles of hydrogen and ammonia:

H₂ : NH₃

3 : 2

0.061 : 2/3×0.061 = 0.041

Mass of ammonia:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.041 mol × 17 g/mol

Mass = 0.697 g
