Question

How many moles of ammonium ions are in 0.557 grams of ammonium carbonate uses?

Answer 1

The chemical formula for ammonium carbonate is (NH₄)₂CO₃ .

It shows that one mole of ammonium carboonate contains two mole of ammonium ion that is NH₄⁺ .

Number of moles of ammonium carbonate , n=

`(Given mass of ammonium carbonate)/(Molar mass of the ammonium carbonate)`

Given mass of the ammonium carbonate=0.557 g

Molar mass of the ammonium carbonate= 96.086 g/mol

Number of moles of ammonium carbonate,

`n= ( 0.557 )/(96.086)`

=0.0057 mol (NH₄)₂CO₃

0.0057 mol (NH₄)₂CO₃=0.0057×2 of NH₄⁺

=0.0114 of NH₄⁺
